Last week, I told you that a new paper ballot system in Montgomery County has been criticized by voters who cite long lines and privacy concerns, just as Northampton County's Amy Cozze and Charles Dertinger predicted. Now there's a new and a far more important problem. The results were inaccurate.
On election night, a library tax proposal in Hatboro passed by a scant 14 votes. It was actually a landslide, and passed 724-287. When the paper ballots were being scanned, a problem with the scanner recognized these ballots as write-in votes so they were not counted on election night.
This is just another indication that election judges, the election commission and Northampton County Council made the right call in going with Express Vote XL. In Delaware, which used this system on election day, there were no issues.

I wonder what the so-called "experts" that attacked the county councilmembers think of that? I am sure they will have some excuse for their nutty panic.
Did Matt Munsey and his compatriot Deb Hunter have a comment.
RUSSIANS ARE COMING FOR OUR ELECTIONS!
It seems the problem was with the scanner, not with the ballots.
If punch-card ballots are used, the problem would be solved
Yeah, they worked so well in Florida, lol.
