“I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work.”

That’s part of the caption for a now-viral video on X showing a voter trying to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump. After several attempts, the video shows, the electronic voting machine captured a vote — but it was for Vice President Kamala Harris. Although officials have looked into the issue, such glitches are a reminder to voters to always double (if not triple) check ballots when casting votes.

The user, whose screen name is “it’s me,” said in the post that the incident took place in Kentucky. She claimed she “went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney general.”

Kentucky Attorney General Michael Adams said in a post on X responding to a report on the incident that “there is no ‘vote-switching’. The voter confirmed that her ballot was correctly printed as marked for the candidate of her choice. Get your voting information from legitimate sources, not TikTok or cat turds.”

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown later confirmed in a post on Facebook that when the state’s Attorney General’s office came to “check the device,” the incident eventually occurred again.

“The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown said on Facebook. “This was accomplished by hitting

Arizona’s elections chief must disclose the identities of 218,000 individuals on the state’s voter rolls who lack documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC), a judge ruled on Thursday.

Writing on behalf of Maricopa County Superior Court, Judge Scott Blaney ordered Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to comply with an open records request filed by Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona (“EZAZ.org”).

The conservative grassroots organization submitted the request last month shortly after state officials revealed there are approximately 98,000 registered “full-ballot” voters who have not provided documentary proof of citizenship, which is required to participate in state and local elections. The error appears to have resulted “from the way the Motor Vehicle Division [MVD] provides driver’s license information to the state’s voter registration system,” according to Votebeat Arizona.

Fontes said most of the affected voters are registered Republicans, according to the outlet.

In Arizona, voters registering via state registration form must show DPOC to vote in state and local races. Individuals who are unable to provide such documentation are registered as “federal-only” voters and can only cast ballots in federal races.

Later that month, state officials revealed that they found an additional 120,000 registered voters lacking DPOC, bringing the total number of affected voters to 218,000. That discovery was announced after the Arizona Supreme Court had already sided with Fontes and the Arizona GOP in granting affected registrants the ability to vote “full ballot” this fall.

(Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona, along with state resident Yvonne Cahill, filed an amicus brief in the case,

The Trump campaign filed a complaint against The Washington Post with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in response to advertising efforts Republicans argue amount to illegal electioneering.

On Thursday, the Dhillon Law Group filed a complaint on behalf of former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, that claims the Post is engaged in “a dark money corporate campaign” to boost Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The Washington Post recently announced it would not endorse a presidential candidate, a decision the Post’s owner defended on the basis that ‘Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election,’” the complaint reads. “Yet, on October 30, 2024, the news website Semafor published a report titled ‘Washington Post pays to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee.’”

The Semafor article published Wednesday chronicled the paper’s desperate efforts to save readership after losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the aftermath of an announcement that the editorial board would not endorse Harris.

“Washington Post pays to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee,” the headline read.

Semafor reported that eight days before Election Day, “On Monday, the paper aggressively ramped up its paid advertising campaign, boosting dozens of articles related to the election. While the articles about Vice President Kamala Harris were relatively neutral in tone and focused on her innovative digital strategy, her policy proposals, and her chances of winning next week, the articles that the Post paid to highlight about Trump told a different story.”
