Whack-A-Vote: Smack to machine’s rear does trick


From the can’t make this stuff up category:

[San Francisco Attorney Kevin] Ho says that after he inserted a card into the Sequoia voting machine, rather than displaying a ballot, the screen went red.

“Nothing moved–neither touching nor talking to the machine worked,” he writes. “What’s worse, the card was now stuck in the machine as there was no eject button or function.”

A poll worker was confounded, but after a brief consultation with a fellow medical professional, lifted the machine’s rear and whacked it.

Sheesh – I wish someone could just do that to my back and I’d be all fixed, too.
