Concerns regarding the operation of electronic voting machines in polling places across Mecklenburg County.

Rob Bryan MeckGOP Chairman says, “There have been multiple reports from voters within Mecklenburg County, other North Carolina counties and as far away as Las Vegas, Nevada (which uses similar machines) of voters seeking to cast electronic ballots for Republicans only to have the final review screen show votes for Democrats.”  

“The MeckGOP precinct judges and observers have been made aware of these occurrences and concerns.  However, we need YOUR help to protect the integrity of our elections.  

#1   Before you press the red "Press here to cast your ballot now" button ... Review the choices to confirm that these are the candidates you chose to vote for.  

#2   if you have any issues when voting, immediately ask to speak with an elections supervisor and demand that your vote be corrected.  In certain circumstances, we have learned that it took as many as five tries by an elections supervisor to get the machine to record the Republican ballot the voter wished to cast.

#3   If you have any issues when voting or if any such issues arose when you cast your ballot earlier during Early Voting (even if it was corrected), we need to know about itimmediately.  Call both the MeckGOP HQ at (704) 334-9127 and the NCGOP Election Hotline at (704) 817-0467.

The best protection against these types of elections irregularities is a vigilant voter.  Be aware when you vote and double check your ballot, and inform ALL of your friends and neighbors (no matter their political persuasion) that they need to be vigilant as well.
