A senior executive from voting machine company Election Systems & Software, the company behind the voting machines that “flipped votes” in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, has admitted that “someone from our team programmed the election.”
The voting machine issued caused votes in an eastern Pennsylvania county to “flip” on a ballot question, officials admitted Tuesday.
“We deeply regret what has occurred today,” said Linda Bennett, the company’s senior vice president of customer operations. Bennett also said that it was a “human error” but also admitted that the vote-flipping issue was created when someone “programmed the election.”
“It was a human error, based on someone from our team that programmed the election,” Bennett responded when asked by a reporter why the voting machines had errors. “They made a mistake putting the printed text on the card as opposed to the screen,” she continued. “Someone from our team inadvertently put the wrong name.”
