At a press conference on Tuesday morningScott Rigell (R-Virginia)
It was reported that 25 people had heard that voters had problems trying to vote for current voters in the state's second congressional district that day, expressing concern
An area that includes Virginia Beach, accommodation and other cities.
"We have received many credible reports that the polling machine at the polling station in the Second Congressional District of Virginia is not working properly.
This is very troublesome.
"It is vital that each voter verify the final summary page before pushing the" cast ballot "option," the congressman's office said in a statement . ".
The Huffington Post quoted the representative as saying: "We know there will be an increase in this day . ".
Rigg said at a press conference on Tuesday morning's provisional election day.
"It's not an anomaly, it's a pattern, it's not good for us in every case, it's good for our challenger.
According to Rigell, voters complained that they had trouble voting for current voters, and the voting machine in the second district accidentally voted for challenger, Democrat Suzanne Patrick.
Rigel's office then released video evidence that allegedly showed the anomaly as a Virginia man tried to vote at a polling station on Virginia Beach earlier Tuesday.
Also, earlier on Tuesday, Virginia Republicans wrote a letter to the state's electoral department because there were growing reports of machine failures.
"It is difficult for voters to use the touch screen to select the candidate they choose because the touch sensor of the screen is not properly aligned with the text that appears on the screen," the letter wrote . ".
According to the Virginia people
However, the pilot is likely to exaggerate the complaint.
Donna Patterson, voter registrar at Virginia Beach, played down the irregularities reported in the newspaper and said, "To be honest, we have received more calls from the Rigel office than voters.
Meanwhile, the Suzanne Patrick movement issued its own statement to the media, saying that few people have seen reports of improper machine work.
"Virginia has elections every year and we believe the electoral department is doing everything it can to ensure the accuracy of the voting process," campaign manager Michelle Gajewski said . ".
"Of course, we will work with election officials to ensure this accuracy.
Our campaign received very few reports about the difficulty of voting today.
In all cases, the issue was quickly resolved and voters were satisfied that everyone had voted successfully.
However, earlier reports elsewhere in the United States that e-voting machines similar to those used in Virginia could suffer.
"This is a classic attack on security devices," Roger Johnston of the Argonne National Laboratory vulnerability assessment team told Popular Science in a report in 2012, which deals with impact
"You implant a microprocessor or other electronic device into a voting machine so that you can control the voting and turn cheating on and off.
We are basically interfering with the intention of transmitting voters.
