Pennsylvania voters are doubting the integrity of local elections in the swing county of Northampton after issues with touchscreen voting devices arose on the most recent Election Day. The glitches were similar to those seen in the county’s 2019 judges race.
Election officials are scrambling to ensure trust in the voting system as voters and local leaders alike are sounding the alarm, a Saturday Politico report revealed.Northampton used Election Systems & Software touchscreen machines for the first time in 2019 and saw a “programming glitch” that caused a significant “undercount” of votes in the local judge’s race, the publication reported. Then, on November 7, 2023, suspicion grew

Except for active duty military, in person same day voting with numbered, paper ballots. Poll watchers tally number of voters entering the polls. Numbers must match final tally of ballots. Hand counted ballots. Votes derived from count may not exceed ballot tally for any candidate or measure.
Number of ballots must match voter rolls plus carefully documented count for recently relocated voters. Confirmation must be established between wards to confirm said voter voted only once.
Purple fingers and fingerprint on each ballot entered. Severe penalties for fraud/double voting might involve minimum incarceration of a minimum of two years for each count of election fraud w/o parole and lifetime loss of voting rights.

The fraud will not stop until the courts stop it, which is unlikely.

The Pennsylvania voting system has been corrupted for decades. The have advanced from shoving Republican election workers out of the precincts and adding the extra votes they need , to the 21st century voter fraudster electronic method. They are NOT the 'Democratic' party.

I haven't read the details - - but I'm betting that all the "glitches" favored the demonrats.
How come there are never any "glitches" which favor us?

As #5 states, Pennsylvania has been living with vote fraud for decades, only the methods change from year to year. Coincidentally, every major political position in this state is held by a democrat. In this case, this is not a bug, it's a feature. One of the simplest tasks that a junior computer programmer can do is to print from a data base to a piece of paper. There can be no change while the data is being transferred to the print file unless it is done deliberately. The dweeb who made the "error" should be fired or transferred to the janitorial staff. Pennsylvania is a red state but you would never know it.

The under counts were programmed into the software of the machines.

The software required for a voting machine is as about as simple as it gets.
You display the choices, keep a running count of the choices, and then provide a summary.
A first year high school computer class could do this.
As such, it must be deliberate.

Yes, PA needs paper ballots, but wishing won't make it so. PA Republicans still insist on voting in person, but the only way to bypass Northampton-like shenanigans is to play their game and mail it in as early as possible, later confirming online that it's been voted. Unfortunately, while most counties have ballot drop boxes monitored by deputy sheriffs 8:30 to 5, Philadelphia keeps them open 24/7 monitored by a camera that I assume is never checked. At any rate, all Democrat states will use minnow-net procedures to scarf up the votes of anyone who ever visited a government assistance office in the past four years, using procedures mandated throughout the administration to do just that. We're behind the 8-ball, regardless of today's polls, but planning to wait in line next November is just a bad idea. Ask Kari Lake.

A few election cycles ago, several Philadelphia precincts reported 100%+ participation in an election, with 100% voting for Democrat candidates. But that was fine...

Dump ALL Vote fraud machines into the landfill. Count the votes by hand, two representatives from each party at each counting position, a counter from each side, and a checker on the counters from each side.
And keep all the paper ballots intact for at least two years after each election.

ES&G tested the machines and were also positive that the machines would operate correctly --- but voters found they did not. So I have little confidence in the assurances of ES&G officials.

In the year 2000 Donna Brazille stated without shame that if Algore needed more votes in PA she could get more from Philadelphia. When the smoke cleared Algore got 80% of Philly's votes. Luckily Algore couldn't work such magic in Florida that year.

From the Secretary of State: ...while the state is still looking into the Election Day glitch, evidence indicates that the issues there should not be taken as a reason to distrust the touchscreen devices.

The trick is to stuff the ballot box without drawing attention. /S/
I remember hearing out poll workers pulling the levers multiple times for Jimmy Carter. So election fraud in PA isn't new. It just wasn't obvious because PA has been a reliable democrat stronghold for a century. Getting Republicans elected statewide are outliers.

What difference does it make? You aren't going to vote your way out of this situation anyway.

The writer must have just leaned a new word...'glitch'.
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
"a minor problem that causes a temporary setback"
Or, they are abusing the language (as the Democ'RATS often do) to minimize the fallout from getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar...... again.
This is no 'glitch'.
This is a major malfunction at best, and blatant vote fraud most likely.
"The printed card is wrong, but trust us, the 'Ghost Data' in the machine is correct."
.... yeah.... sure.

Either the person that programmed the vote swapping code was a dimwit or they wanted to show utter contempt for the voter by brazenly showing the swap on the printout. The voters were lucky they saw the swap. It only takes a little extra code to print what the voter submitted and then make the swap to the data sent to the votes cast data base. That way the vote swap is invisible to the voter.
It is so easy to cheat with a computer system and, usually, impossible to detect.
