Alarming footage out of Kentucky appears to show a voter being prevented from selecting Donald Trump as his presidential pick.
A viral video shows a man in Laurel County repeatedly attempting to push the Trump-Vance selection on a voting machine as it fails to register his pick.
As the man keeps pushing Trump-Vance, the voting machine instead registers a vote for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz Democrat ticket.
🚨 NEW: Some voting machines in Kentucky are NOT ALLOWING voters to select President Trump.

Instead, when they tap “Trump,” Kamala Harris ends up being selected.
Add it to the list of reasons to switch to paper ballots.
Why does this always seem happen in one direction and not… pic.twitter.com/2QOO93DS1v
“This is in Kentucky. I took this video, it was my vote,” the man seen trying to vote wrote on X.
“I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work, so I began recoding [sic] and kept trying. I went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney General.”
“I hit Trump’s name 10 times & it wouldn’t work,” the man further explained. “I then began recording & you can see what happened…. Switched it to Harris.”
In a reply to another X user, the man said he’d spoken to poll workers and the head of the election board, and that workers had agreed to pull the machine.
The incident sparked concern on social media, with tensions high over preventing potential Democrat chicanery and election fraud.
“Add it to the list of reasons to switch to paper ballots,” noted conservative commentator Nick Sortor, adding, “Why does this always seem happen in one direction and not the other?”
“Kentucky you need to pay attention,” another X user warned.
With the threat of another election theft on the horizon, it’s more important than ever that Americans remain vigilant at the polls and re-check their ballots to ensure proper selections before leaving polling places.
