Ballot scanners stop accepting ballots across Westchester County, New York, on Election Day
Voting machines at polling places across Westchester County, New York, stopped accepting ballots on Tuesday, 3 November, as the US midterm elections got under way. The county Board of Elections blamed an issue with the paper ballots. Voting continues: filled-in ballots are being placed in sealed orange emergency bags and will be counted later, officials said.
