Electronic Voter Fraud in Kentucky
I just came across this story in my travels. The story is about indictments in KY of election officials for changing electronic votes at the voting machine. Basically, the voters would cast their votes and press the “VOTE” button at the bottom of the ballot. Then they would walk out. The vote button actually was […]
