Tennessee voters dispute official's explanation for ballot-screen complaints
Really American's election-security segment draws an unusually busy discussion about checking selections, paper ballots and how officials should handle machine complaints.
Why this story? The video drew 3,741 comments in its first day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (321).
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE as these votes SWITCH to Republican?!
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:46Local news footage examines voting-screen complaints in Davidson County, Tennessee.
- 1:55Election official Mark Goins attributes complaints to unintended touches rather than vote flipping.
- 3:40Voter Gladys Mscowen disputes human error as the explanation for her experience.
- 5:22Harness and Reynolds discuss ProPublica's report about a request to acquire and hack a voting machine.
- 9:26Harness urges viewers to verify their ballot selections carefully before submitting them.
Jackie Herrud says she kept selecting a Democrat, only for the voting screen to select Marsha Blackburn instead. Tennessee Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins offers a different explanation for such complaints: unintended touches that voters may not realize they have made.
That disagreement sits at the center of Really American's segment on early-voting concerns. The clips channel combines local television reporting with commentary from Steve Harness and his The Vocal Minority co-host, Nick Reynolds.
The upload drew roughly 3,700 comments in its first day, nearly twelve times the channel's usual discussion, although its viewing was ordinary. Viewers focus on reviewing selections before casting a ballot, requesting paper ballots and whether a machine should be taken out of service after a complaint. Some describe checking their own selections without finding errors.
The Tennessee footage gives the discussion its clearest point of tension. Voter Gladys Mscowen rejects the suggestion that her experience resulted from human error, while Goins says the complaints are not evidence of vote flipping.
Later, Harness and Reynolds turn to a ProPublica report alleging that administration appointees asked the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to acquire and hack a voting machine. That is a separate report from the voters' screen complaints. Harness closes with a practical message: carefully verify the ballot before submitting it.
