Voter Error, Not Machine Malfunction, Behind Arkansas and Kentucky Voting Claims

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.
  • Both states use voting machines from Election Systems & Software, which clarified that the machines accurately capture voter intent.
  • Election officials emphasize that voters have the opportunity to verify and correct their selections before finalizing their ballots.
