In what is a big day for both major political parties here in the United states, things have already gotten off to a slightly rocky start in North Carolina. The Republican Party of North Carolina has sued the NC Board of Elections because they claim that malfunctioning touch-screen voting machines are skewing the vote towards Democrats by preventing voters from casting their vote for Republicans.

Officials in North Carolina will have to notify voters of this situation and make sure they report any problems that have been occurring in regard to the possibly malfunctioning touch-screen interfaces of the voting machines. The NC Republican Party filed a complaint because they claim that NC Board of Elections officials have somewhat ignored the issues, and have not taken the appropriate action to rectify them.

The NC Board of Elections claims that the issues were not widespread, and that only a few people had reported having trouble, however the Republican Party refutes these claims, stating that several counties have experienced the problems related to the touch-screens. If you are a North Carolina voter and facing any problems while casting your vote today, please immediately let the officials at your voting location know.
