Election officials confirm that isolated voting issues in Arkansas and Kentucky were due to user error, not faulty machines.
- In Arkansas, a video showed a voter mistakenly selecting Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump due to improper touchscreen use.
- Officials in Faulkner County, Arkansas, and the voting machine manufacturer confirmed the incident was a result of user error.
- A similar incident in Kentucky was also attributed to user error, with election officials unable to replicate the reported issue.
