Chicago Board of Elections officials quickly ended a potentially serious problem discovered early Nov. 3, amid widespread reports of tabulation machines rejecting ballots filled out with Sharpie felt-tip markers.
“The polls opened at 6 a.m. Within minutes, Election Central (the command post at the Board of Elections) was receiving calls from precincts reporting that the Sharpies were bleeding visibly through the paper of the ballots, leading to ballot rejections for overvoting and spoiled ballots,” Chicago attorney Joseph Morris told The Epoch Times on Nov. 8.
