WINFIELD, W.Va. - Two more Putnam County voters - Martha Louise Harrington and Michael K. Koon - have come forward about problems they experienced on early-voting electronic machines at the Winfield courthouse.
Last week, other early voters in Jackson and Putnam counties said touch-screen voting machines changed their votes after they tried to punch them in.
Harrington, a retired home health worker who lives in Hurricane, said, "
I was very cautious to put my fingernail in the middle of the square. I hit it in the square to vote for Obama. Immediately, it went to McCain.
"A Putnam County poll worker, who seemed very knowledgeable, told me to
hit the McCain button to erase it. Then you start over. My next vote held.
I think a lot of people, especially elderly people, are not going to catch that.
"I have talked to people who said the same thing happened them when the voted for [Governor Joe] Manchin," Harrington said on Monday. "I hope this publicity makes the public more aware of what is going."
Deputy Secretary of State Sarah Bailey said 21,194 West Virginians had already cast early votes by Friday.
"Early voting becomes more popular every year," she said. "All the voting systems [in West Virginia] are manufactured by ES&S."
Election Systems and Software, a company based in Omaha, Neb., has faced problems and controversies in other states.
In California, for example, Secretary of State Debra Brown issued a legal order on Aug. 3, 2007, banning the use of ES&S machines in any future California election.
Ken Fields, an ES&S spokesman in St. Louis, did not return a telephone call to his office on Monday.
Koon said he had no problem casting an early vote for president.
"However, when I chose Jay Rockefeller - and there is at least a finger's distance between the two choices - it selected Jay Wolfe and printed his name on the receipt.
"I pushed Jay Rockefeller again a few times and it canceled Jay Wolfe. Then I chose Jay Rockefeller again and it verified it."
Koon believes voting machines at the Putnam County Courthouse need to be "calibrated."
