Some GOP Voters In California Recall Say Computer Showed They’d Already Voted

Some early GOP voters who reportedly tried to cast their ballots in the California gubernatorial recall election were told computers showed that they’d already voted, even though they hadn’t.

ABC affiliate KTLA reported the disturbing episode occurred Saturday at a polling place, where Estelle Bender, 88, of West Hills, California, recounted the computer block — and said she wasn’t alone.

Bender told the news outlet the block also happened to friends of hers, two others outside the polling place — all of them Republicans — and “the man next to me was arguing the same thing.”

“Gave her this [ballot] and she scanned and said ‘you voted,’ and I said, ‘no, I haven’t’. And she said this has been happening all morning,” Bender said of the poll monitor.

She said she was then given a provisional ballot instead, filled it out and “left really angry.”

“I’d still like to know how I voted,” Bender told KTLA.

In a statement, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office told the news outlet that provisional ballots are a “failsafe option for these kind of glitches” to ensure that everyone’s votes are counted.

“The voters who experienced this issue were offered and provided a provisional ballot — the failsafe option to ensure no one has turned away from voting,” the statement said.
