Claim: A video circulating on TikTok claims that a voting machine in Faulkner County, Arkansas, recorded a vote for Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump due to machine malfunction.
Reasoning: According to Lead Stories, state and local election officials and the voting machine manufacturer investigated the incident, attributing the vote mix-up to human error rather than machine malfunction. The Faulkner County Election Commission and Election Systems and Software (ES&S) confirmed that voters sometimes touch the wrong area on touchscreen devices, especially when using their finger rather than the stylus provided. Additionally, the touchscreen system allows voters to confirm and correct their selection before casting their ballot. No evidence was found of votes being systematically “flipped” or tampered with.
Fact or Fiction? Fiction. The mix-up was attributed to user error, with no indication of machine malfunction.
