Akron student captures voting booth problem on his iPhone

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - Ian Sanderson is an University of Akron freshman, who was genuinely excited to cast his ballot during the November election.

Sanderson traveled to John Knox Church in Jackson Township, where he was greeted by four poll workers, who were on the scene. Ian said running through the ballot was going smoothly until he tried to cast his vote for Democrat John Boccieri, in the 16th District Congressional race.

"Everytime I hit the Boccieri button on the touch screen, it activated the button for Boccieri's opponent listed above his name on the ballot," Sanderson said. "I couldn't believe this was happening, so I decided to record the incident on my iPhone."

Sanderson said he was unable to vote for Boccieri, so he reported the problem to a poll worker. Sanderson said the poll worker was already aware of the problem, but claims the voting booth was not immediately shut down.

"I decided to post video of my voting experience on YouTube," Sanderson said. "I just thought more people should know that these voting machines can go bad."

4. And Now That The Toolbox Husted Is Secretary Of State.........

...........these "problems" will not only become commonplace, but accepted as the norm. Once he does away with all forms of early voting and voting on paper (which he has already vowed to do), you can forget about ever having a clean election in Ohio ever again.

Jennifer Brunner had done a wonderful job cleaning up the mess Ken Blackwell created to ensure that only Republicans win elections in Ohio. Now that she's gone, all of her progress will be reversed in a matter of months. Thank you, educated Ohio voting public. Thank you SO much for voting to take away your right to vote.
