State Officials have confirmed at least three reports of voting machines in two Mississippi counties changing voters' picks in the state's GOP gubernatorial primary runoff according to The Hill.

The issue emerged yesterday morning, with one Facebook user posting a video showing a touch-screen voting machine not allowing them to select candidate Waller over candidate Reeves. 

The machines were reportedly fixed or replaced after at least 19 votes were already placed on the faulty machines defaulting to Reeves.

Waller's campaign suggest there were several more reports of the same issue across 4+ counties in the state as well, however, there are no reports this was addressed.

Hopefully this isn't something we will see again in the presidential race next year! 😐
