@MercerPIO (Mercer County) New Jersey had voting machines issues where that “glitch with the Dominion scanners ” occurred, where ALL voting machines were not working “due to a printing and scanning issue with the ballots.”
As of 12:30pm, ballots were still being “manually slotted,” Mercer County Superintendent of Elections Nathaniel Walker said. “There are no reports of Mercer County voting machine tabulators in operation.”
Voters left because they feared their vote would not be counted.

Anthony DeLuca, Pennsylvania died on October 9th, 2022 but still won his race.
Barbara Cooper, Tennessee, died on October 25th, 2022 but still won her race.
The 2022 Midterms were chaotic, disorganized, and flawed in many ways. Where is the accountability? Where is the transparency? What happened to the laws in place? Where is the integrity?
