According to the Jefferson County Clerk's Office, a software update to voting machines is the cause of delays at voting locations. The update is important for election integrity, they explained. Here's the latest from our Juliet Gahan. #decision2024 #elections #electionday

Why would machines need an update the day of? I don’t understand why we can catch a literal rocket 🚀, make cars that drive themselves, but we can’t get annoying machine to work.

@KYSecState But but but it not hook to internet to reprogram.

This should have been done weeks ago. We have early voting in KY. Are you telling me that those votes arent secure?

Why wouldn’t this update happen BEFORE polls opened? My boyfriend’s polling location @ Community Church 40299 had no one voting at all as this update was happening, from 6am till nearly 7am, my BF said. He saw ~9 people walk out. He got there at 6:30am and left at 7:12am.

@KYSecState A software update ON election day? WHY?

No good sys admin updates with untested patches at a critical time. I've done the job since 1986 and would NEVER trust an update without a 48 hour running test.

It’s also a great way to cheat. Should have been done weeks ago

Question: why not update the machines prior to election day? Also if there is no internet connection from the machines - where is the update push coming from? If its local intranet then this should have been handled sooner. If its internet then why have we been lied to?

@KYSecState Those ePoll books are a joke. In 2023, they lost the ability to scan by 8:30am. They make signature verification impossible. People are finger-signing with Xes and squiggles.
