Election hijinks: paperweight 1, computer 0.
According to the Pennsylvania newpaper The Morning Call:
Oh, and Chelsea Clinton - yeah, daughter of a former President and a sitting Senator - ran into a glitch while voting. The registration book containing her name (and how many others?) had been sent to the wrong district. The article notes that she can vote with NY's version of a provisional ballot.
A man who reportedly believed Republicans were conspiring to steal today's election entered an Allentown polling site, signed in and proceeded to smash the screen of one of the electronic voting machines with a metal cat paperweight, poll volunteers said.According to Lehigh County Board of Elections Chief Clerk Stacy J. Sterner, who has worked in the registrations office 19 years: "Nothing can top this". One would hope...!
Michael Young, 43, of 375 Auburn St., will be charged with felony criminal mischief and tampering with voting machines, according to Ronald Manescu, chief of investigations for Allentown police.
