I like how flippantly disregarding the authorities are about this. Oh just make sure to sloooow down folks! No mention if the people complaining were allowed to change their votes.

YET someone that is barred from voting, someone that did jail time typically, is thrown in the fucking slammer for one vote cast (and they typically didn't even know they were not allowed to).




The machines in question display all of your selections on a separate screen for the voter to review and approve before the ballot is cast. Since the voters noticed a change they either noticed it before getting to this screen or on this screen. Either way they had an opportunity to go back and change their vote before the ballot was cast.
