Voting machine contract under scrutiny following discrepancies in Puerto Rico's primaries

[excalibur]

Guess who's voting machines?

Yep, Dominion.

Dastardly.

​

Puerto Rico’s elections commission said Tuesday that it’s reviewing its contract with a U.S. electronic voting company after hundreds of discrepancies were discovered following the island’s heated primaries.​

​

The problem stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals, said Jessika Padilla Rivera, the commission’s interim president.​

​

While no one is contesting the results from the June 2 primary that correctly identify the winners, machine-reported vote counts were lower than the paper ones in some cases, and some machines reversed certain totals or reported zero votes for some candidates.​

​

“The concern is that we obviously have elections in November, and we must provide the (island) not only with the assurance that the machine produces a correct result, but also that the result it produces is the same one that is reported,” Padilla said.​

​

More than 6,000 Dominion voting machines were used in Puerto Rico’s primaries, with the company stating that software issues stemmed from the digital files used to export results from the machines.​

​

The contract between Dominion and the elections commission ends June 30.​

​

José Varela, vice president of Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives, called for Padilla to appear at a public hearing Thursday to address the issues.​

​

“We cannot allow the public’s confidence in the voting process to continue to be undermined as we approach the general elections,” he said.​

​

The problems called to mind the island’s botched 2020 primaries, when a lack of ballots at some centers forced the government to reschedule voting in a first for the U.S. territory.​

They switched to floating point math and after recalculating on a per inning average and rounding up (or down if Republican) the Democrats won 18 to 17.

Also, there were a disproportionate percentage of white players for the Republican team that “Walked” or got a free pass onto the base paths compared players of color on the Democrat team who struggled to hit the ball; many of whom misssed most of their swings or “struck out”.

Democrats are working on legislation called “Restorative At-Bats” which aims to close that gap.

They blame the voting machines for discrepancies in Puerto Rican primary elections? You gotta be kidding.
