Voting Machines Malfunctioning In PA County

CAMBRIA COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of State Tuesday morning acknowledged voting issues in Cambria County, where several polling locations reported voting machines were not reading submitted paper forms.

"Voters are continuing to vote by paper ballot, in accordance with normal operations, while the county resolves the issue with in-precinct scanning," the department stated in a social media post."We are working with the county to resolve this technical matter and remain committed to ensuring a free, fair, safe, and secure election."

Because of the issue, the county election board has filed a court order to extend the voting time within Cambria County, the Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown reported.

Cambria County is about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh.
