Some early morning voters in the 6th Voting Precinct in Concord Township were turned away from the polls because the wrong machine was sent to the precinct at the township building.
Precinct Judge of Elections Steve Critchlow said the voting machine delivered was for the 6th Precinct in Collingdale. While initial voters were told to come back later, Critchlow said, Voters’ Services advised him to have people fill out the paper ballots and then put them in a box to be scanned later.
Paul Marra, from the Delaware County Department of Elections said the Concord machine was sent out with the wrong “V-Drive.” That drive is specific for the scanner at the designated precinct. Why and how it happened had not yet been determined. However, he said a technician was sent out with a new scanner for Concord’s 6th Precinct.
