2024-11-01 21:55:34 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

This ballot marker was temporarily taken offline and investigated, however there were no other reported issues before or after this incident. Voters are reminded to tap the name of the candidate, not the checkbox beside it. Officials also stress that this does not cast votes. https://www.lex18.com/news/kentucky-votes/at-least-6-kentucky-counties-saw-reports-of-issues-with-ballot-marking-machine-touchscreens
