The Pulaski County prosecutor in Arkansas, USA, says tall voters using the new, electronic touch-screen voting machines could end up casting votes for candidates they didn’t mean to vote for.
Prosecutor Larry Jegley says the new, electronic touch-screen voting machines’ computer screen skews a voter’s view of the ballot. Jegley and county election commissioner Kent Walker say it’s a problem that could affect any voter over six feet tall.
But a spokesman for Election Systems and Software — the company that provided the machines to the state under a 15 million dollar contract — says the machines don’t have that problem. Spokesman Ken Fields says a voter’s height should not affect their vote. Fields says there are safety checks in place before a ballot is cast.
