BREAKING: Viral Video Shows Kentucky Voting Machines REFUSING TO SELECT Donald Trump, Selecting Kamala Harris Instead

Here we go again!

Users on Twitter/X are sharing videos of a voting machine in Kentucky that are not allowing them to select Donald Trump with their vote, the machine selects Kamala Harris instead.

Take a look:

Another report shows the switch here:

But is it real?

And is it widespread?

The Lexington Herald reports that the machine was pulled but that no other complaints of vote switching have been received:

The Laurel County clerk’s office pulled a voting machine from public use Thursday, the first day of early voting in Kentucky, after someone posted a video on TikTok claiming their intended presidential vote for Republican Donald Trump instead was credited to Democrat Kamala Harris.

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown, a Republican, said in an interview Thursday that his staff couldn’t recreate the issue, but that it pulled the machine aside for examination as soon as it got word of the complaint. “We went right there to it. But we couldn’t make it do what she said it did to her. We couldn’t recreate it,” Brown said.

“We were pushing all the buttons, and it was fine.” Brown said at his request, an investigator from the state attorney general’s office, a former Kentucky State Police trooper, was driving to the county clerk’s office Thursday afternoon to conduct an independent examination of the machine.

“I want him to clear this up, because I don’t know,” Brown said. Video of the incident swiftly circulated thousands of times across social media, where unsubstantiated claims of election fraud have been promoted by Trump and his supporters for years, especially since his 2020 re-election loss.

In the 16-second video, taken at a Laurel County courthouse annex in London that’s serving as an early voting center, a hand seems to try several times to touch the box on the screen where Trump’s name appears, with no response.

Finally, the box underneath, where Harris’ name appears, lights up instead. It’s not shown where the video originated. It has no dialogue, and it ends before the person finishes voting, so it’s not clear if they asked for assistance or were able to correct their ballot. The screen in the video is part of a digital ballot marking device into which voters slide their paper ballots, Brown said.

After they make their choices, he said, voters withdraw their ballots, and they can check to ensure the selections are correct before entering their ballot into a nearby scanner. “Here’s the thing,” the clerk said. “The official who worked with (the woman who posted the TikTok video) said, ‘Did you vote for Trump?’, and she said, ‘Yeah, it’s on my card.’ Of course, she didn’t say anything until she was done. Which doesn’t help.”

In a statement issued later Thursday, Michon Lindstrom, spokeswoman for Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams, said: “Our office has received no complaints about ‘vote switching’ or other long-ago debunked rumors. We contacted the county clerk, who confirmed voter error and that the ballot-marking device works correctly.”

Local Fox56 confirms the issue does not appear to be widespread or even duplicatable:

County officials have spoken out after a video began to circulate showing a “ballot marking device” malfunctioning.

Early voting commenced in Kentucky on Thursday, but one Laurel County voter shared a video on TikTok that showed the voter attempting to make their selection but the machine wasn’t receiving the voter’s input.

The video depicts the voter attempting to cast their vote for former president Donald Trump numerous times. However, the machine didn’t indicate the voter’s selection and eventually selected Vice President Kamala Harris.

The video has since amassed over one million views.

Around 2 p.m. on Thursday, Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown said the error was reported and the device was checked. However, officials weren’t able to replicate the error.

“The machine has been taken out of service and are waiting for the Attorney General’s Office representative to arrive. We had no complaints prior to or after the complaint. We have left the machine in full view and are awaiting further directions,” Brown wrote.

FOX 56 reached out to the Attorney General’s office, who said they were aware of the reported issue.

If you notice something wrong with your ballot or machine, alert a poll worker immediately.

A brand new problem is trending online from people voting on machines in California.

According to reports, President Trump is not visible among the choices for President unless/until you push a "More" button.

But Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is listed second.

Take a look:

MJTruth reports:

UPDATE: 2024 Election

California voting Machines are reportedly not showing Donald Trump unless you hit the “More” tab at the bottom… Kamala Harris is at the top of course, and RFK JR is next…

Obviously the ploy here is to have people maybe consider voting for RFK JR, targeting Independents.

California is so ridiculous.

See the full image here:

So they can get Chase Oliver and Jill Stein in there but not Donald J. Trump?

Really?

This man reports the same thing, saying he personally just voted in California and had to click the "More" button to find President Trump:

This post on Twitter/X has a Community Note attached to it which seemingly confirms the images are real, but then explains how it's ok because the names are just in alphabetical order:

Ok folks, we have over 5+ million readers here each month, I'm sure we have many people who have voted early using machines in California.

Can anyone confirm or deny these reports?
