>>17753804 Judge Orders Voting Machines to Be Opened Following Mistake by Poll Worker
notable
A mistake made by a poll worker in New Jersey led a judge to intervene earlier this week.
A judge in Monmouth County, N.J., ordered two voting machines to be opened following the poll worker’s error. The New Jersey Globe reported that the incident occurred in the town of Manalapan. Deputy Attorney General George Cohen noted on Thursday that the unnamed poll worker “inadvertently failed to get vote results” before sealing the machines, the Washington Examiner reported.
The AG added that the poll worker took two USB sticks from the voting machines prior to the results being fully uploaded to them. Officials said they are not sure of the official results because one stick had returns and the other did not. That led Superior Court Judge David Bauman to order Monmouth County Superintendant of Elections authority to open the machines, the report said.
