Dear @AnnieAndrewsMD: I just voted for you, but when I went to check the ballot, your name had been switched with the libertarian candidate. I don’t think it was user error, but I can’t prove it. I was able to go back and change it after that. But keep an ear out, because if other people are having a similar experience, it’s not an accident.

Please read this well sourced article. We’ve been shockingly naïve regarding our election equipment history. I think we need to be prepared to ask for statistically significant risk limiting audits or even better yet hand counts.

Many states have started to implement statistically significant hand counts due to the activism of me and others some 22 years ago.

Can you tell me the site and county where you voted? I work on the NBC News Vote Watch team, and will investigate!

It was the Carolina Forest early location in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. The machine made the switch onscreen - I had a chance to review and correct before printing, fortunately.

I seriously doubt it was user error. Scary. Stay alert, folks.

None of my other ballot choices were wrong, and I'm 99% certain I had pressed Annie's clearly when voting. Very suspicious. Even a simple one in five flip like that could alter this close election.

Hey, as a South Carolinian that wants to vote for her, how would I even check/change my vote if this happens to me??

Check the screen, check your printed ballot. My understanding is even if you print it, you get one do-over. Check, check, check!

Do you have a paper receipt or record? Did you take a picture? Is SC electronic or paper ballot?

You vote on a computer, but then it printed onto a paper ballot that is dropped in a box

This is likely how Musk fixed the swing states in 2024.

Same thing happened to me in Bexar county. I tapped for @jamestalarico and it switched to Paxton. I had to tap the screen forcefully several times to switch it back. I double checked before I printed.

Are you in Charleston County? I voted yesterday and there were so many things jammed on one screen I could see how a finger being slightly off could get you the wrong person. I checked my paper ballot several times to make sure it was all right…way too many things on one ballot

I had a friend that the same thing happened out here in TX 2 years ago. Vote went from Harris to Trump. Voter beware. Double check before submitting your ballot

The same thing happened to me in the 2018 midterms! I voted for the Democrat, the machine switched it to the Republican. Glad I caught it, but many probably didn’t.

I hope you reported it immediately. We cannot have our votes being switched before they're even counted!!!

"If other people are having a similar experience ..." User error is ever-present - with computers, with physical machines, even with paper ballots . Definitely worth creating awareness, voters should check their ballot screen at end, and after printing as well.

How to ensure the candidate you voted for is recorded correctly, after you drop your ballot in the box? Votes should not be changing.

I had the same issue while I was voting. I would press for certain candidates and right when I would click on the next page, I saw some of my candidate choices switched to someone else. I had to triple check every candidate page before I printed out my ballot.

Just voted in Ballentine and noticed another candidate's name automatically switched to someone else as well. Seemed very "glitchy."
