Officials in Multiple States Report Issues With Voting Machines on Election Day

Officials in several states said on Election Day that voting machines were down or not working properly.

All machines in Mercer County, New Jersey, which encompasses Princeton, were not working on Nov. 8, election officials said.

Gary Huber, the West Windsor township clerk, attributed the issue to a “county-wide system outage.” Voters were still able to vote on a standard ballot at polling locations, according to Huber.

A county spokesperson said that the Mercer County Board of Elections alerted the county to issues with the machines. “Poll workers will be on hand to walk voters through the process,” the county said adding it is working with the machine maker to resolve the issue.
