"Of course, it is not optimal when your scanners do not work on-site, but we are pleased that we have a paper-based election system that allows every voter to cast a vote and have that vote count," Sollami-Covello said."Every vote was counted.", Sollami-Covello said the glitch doesn’t appear to be a deliberate attack on Mercer County’s voting system, but a full investigation would be conducted to rule out the possibility.
