candidate, noticed that the republican light actually lit up. He had to
select the democratic candidate again to cancel it out, and then select it
again to make the correct selection. He had to do this for almost all of the
people he voted for. Worried that others won't realize the problem. THIS WAS

Voter told me that she looks young and lives in high republican

They had a desk where they look at you through a computer. Voter worker said
that she had to have ID. Her parents did not have to show ID. Her parents
went home to get her ID. When she finally got her ID, the voter worker stated
that according to the computer, the worker said she was "red flagged."
She asked what does that mean. She suggested that it might have something to
do with requesting an absentee ballot, but she didn't actually send in the
request to absentee vote. But her mother was in the same situation He said
that in order to vote, this is going to involve a lot of paperwork. She said
I don't care and he said what did you do with the ballot? This causes a lot

"Bernalillo County Election Technician" on the back. Man was
questioned about his role, and he responded that he was "delivering
pens." When pressured further, the man said he was checking to make sure
the machines were functioning properly, but did not want to answer any
further questions. Although man carried a box of pens into the pollin location, he did not appear to leave the pens
