According to Greene, a constituent in Whitfield County noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the selections they made on the voting machine, particularly changing their vote away from candidates they had chosen.
According to a viral Facebook post:
“FYI to all my voting friends and family a friend of mine in Whitfield County yesterday voted/ checked his selections then printed it checked the printed version and it was not marked the same !!! Please really look at the printed ballot after completion. Very strange occurrence. After several attempts for correction they voided that ballot and machine and he had to revote on another machine! PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRINTED BALLOT!!!!!!!!!”
“This happened in Whitfield County in my district – GA-14,” Greene wrote on X.
“We vote on Dominion voting machines then it prints a paper ballot with our selections made on the machines. This voter’s printed ballot had been changed from their selections made on the machine.”
“Good thing they checked their paper ballot before turning it in! After several attempts of trying to change it to reflect their correct choices, they had to void the ballot and use a different machine.”
The issue reportedly persisted after multiple attempts to correct the ballot. The voter was eventually forced to void the ballot and use a different machine.
Greene emphasized the importance of double-checking the printed ballot to ensure accuracy, stating, “Please double check your printed ballot before you turn it in to make sure it has marked the candidates you voted for!!!”
that the issue was resolved on-site while the voter was still present.
“The Whitfield County Board of Elections & Registrar’s Office is aware of a Facebook post stating that a printed ballot didn’t reflect the voter’s selection. This issue was quickly resolved while the voter was still on-site. We assure everyone that we’re here to support you in your right to vote, so please always double check your printed ballot before putting it in the scanner. If at any point while voting you need assistance, please ask and a poll worker will be happy to help you.”
Despite the quick resolution, Greene did not shy away from calling for more stringent election reforms. In a follow-up post, she thanked the Whitfield County Board of Elections for their swift action but reiterated her desire for paper ballots only.
“Georgia voters make sure you double check your printed ballot to make sure the candidates you voted for are listed before you turn in your ballot!!! Thank you Whitfield County Board of Elections for resolving this major issue!” Rep. Greene wrote.
“Please report any machine vote flipping and continue to fix the issues! Everyone, this is not their fault, they don’t make the Georgia state election laws and they are just doing their jobs. If it were up to me, Georgia would have paper ballots only, we would require proof of citizenship nationwide for voting, and we would not count noncitizens in the census so districts were drawn on citizenship numbers not total number of people.”
Update from the Whitfield County Board of Elections & Registrars Office.
Georgia voters make sure you double check your printed ballot to make sure the candidates you voted for are listed before you turn in your ballot!!!
