Chaos On Election Day: Voting Machines FAIL In This State, Flipping Critical Votes

According to Lehigh Valley News, multiple districts in the county reported that votes were being flipped and not recorded correctly. The affected areas included Palmer Township, Bethany Wesleyan Church in Lehigh Township, College Hill Presbyterian Church in Easton, and the Allen Township Fire Hall.

The issue with the voting machines specifically pertained to the retention race between Judge Jack Panella and Judge Victor Stabile for the Pennsylvania Superior Court. The Northampton County Elections Office released a statement explaining the problem: "It appears that when a voter selects a 'Yes' or a 'No' for one of the candidates for retention to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the selection is recorded on the paper ballot and on the machine for the other candidate."

The county's statement acknowledged the significance of the problem and assured voters that they were working diligently to resolve the issue. The full press release from the Northampton County Elections Office can be found on their website.
