County Judge Impounds Voting Machine

KDKA | Nov 2, 2004

It may be a while before the results of the presidential race in Pennsylvania are announced. Aside from some question about provisional ballots, a judge in Allegheny County has reportedly impounded an entire voting machine.

As many as 60 polling places in our area ran out of provisional ballots, which voters use if they can't prove that they're registered.

Apparently some precincts let those voters go ahead and vote on machines -- even if they couldn't prove that they were actually registered.

The move provoked a court-challenge by the Republicans -- and late tonight, Common Pleas Judge Lawrence O'Toole impounded one of the voting machines from Litchfield Tower at the University of Pittsburgh.
