California Returns (to c. 1933?)
We’ve seen all the statesmanlike campaigning and editorializing…
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."
"I 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.
Now, the results are in and verified but won’t be revealed until after the polls close officially at 9 pm EST. Do you want a peek? The front pages have also been finalized:
