Voter double check ins spark investigation into election integrity
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the identification of three voters who experienced duplicate check-ins during the voting process, raising concerns about potential double voting.

The first case involved a voter who was checked in twice due to a malfunction with the ID scanner, which did not initially register her first check-in. Poll workers ensured she received credit for voting, leading to the appearance of two check-ins, though she only cast one ballot.

The second instance involved a voter who cast her ballot via absentee in late October and later checked in at a different location, mistakenly believing she had not been recorded as having voted. She informed poll workers of her prior vote, confirming that she did not cast a second ballot despite the duplicate check-in.

The third case highlighted a gentleman who checked in at two different locations within a ten-minute span on the same day. Although he voted only once, the timing of his check-ins raised questions about the system's ability to communicate effectively between polling locations.

Officials are currently compiling security footage and other evidence related to these incidents to submit to the Secretary of State's office for further investigation into potential double voting. The meeting concluded with a call for questions regarding these cases, indicating ongoing scrutiny of the voting process to ensure its integrity.
