Brendan McDermid/Reuters Some of Westchester, N.Y.’s, voting machines rejected ballots on Tuesday because of a coding mismatch between ballots and the scanners reading them, according to the New York State Board of Elections and people familiar with the matter.
纽约州选举委员会公共信息主任凯瑟琳·R·麦格拉斯表示,由于某一市镇的一个竞选项目临时变更,该县其他大多数地区的投票机仍在运行原始程序,导致它们拒收选举日使用的选票。
After a late change to a contest in one municipality, most machines elsewhere in the county were still running the original programming, causing them to reject ballots being used on Election Day, said Kathleen R. McGrath, director of public information for the New York State Board of Elections.
提前投票期间,选票是按需打印的,扫描没有出现问题。在选举日,截至投票结束时未被扫描的选票将被放入密封容器,运往一个中心设施。据知情人士之一透露,该县结果现在可能要到周三清晨才会出来。
There were no problems with ballot scanning during early voting, in which ballots were printed on demand. On Election Day, ballots that aren't scanned by the time the polls close will go in sealed containers to a central facility. County results will likely now come in the early morning hours Wednesday, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.
