Voting machines malfunction in central Iowa county
By MICHAEL GOLDBERG
In Central Iowas Story County, home to about 100,000 people and the city of Ames, voting machines at some precincts malfunctioned, portending possible delays to reporting results.
We are aware of technical issues regarding tabulators in some precincts in Story County, said Ashley Hunt Esquivel, a spokesperson for Iowa Secretary of States Office. The auditor is working with the vendor and our office to resolve it. It is not stopping anyone from casting a single ballot. It may impact how quickly we can report results.
Story County Auditor Lucy Martin told the Des Moines Register that machines did not read certain ballot styles at about 12 of the countys 45 polling locations. Election workers would have to count ballots at those locations by hand, according to local Democratic and Republican Party officials. The machines were tested and the cause of the technical difficulties was unknown, Martin added.

Trump will just have to wait. There is no law that it has to be counted on election day.
Actually, one of the premiere engineering schools in the country.....Iowa State University

Here's hoping that within a few days or maybe even a week, we won't ever have to hear that name again. Unless it's tied to another word. Prison.
