UPDATE: WESTCHESTER VOTING MACHINE FAILURES BLAMED ON PROGRAMMING ERROR, NOT BALLOTS: The New York State Board of Elections says widespread voting machine failures across Westchester County on Election Day were caused by an election software update that was not installed on all machines, leaving scanners unable to recognize or accept ballots. Officials initially blamed ballot paper thickness but later withdrew that explanation. Technicians are working to restore the machines, while affected ballots are being securely collected for counting. Election officials assure voters that every eligible vote will be counted.
