Fairfax Dems warn of voting machine problems

Fairfax County elections officials said they were aware of two instances in which voters claimed the machines had changed their votes. But officials expressed confidence that both were cases of user error.The reports come at a time when concern about voter fraud is running high around the country and particularly in Virginia, where the presidential and U.S. Senate races are running neck-and-neck. The General Assembly passed voter ID law this year meant to prevent voter impersonation.

The Fairfax County Democratic Committee issued a news release saying it had received "several reports of voting machines displaying opposite ballot selections on the final screen before the vote is cast." Frank Anderson, executive director of the committee, said in an interview that eight to 15 voters had called to complain about problems with the machines.

On Wednesday, the son of 11-term Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D) resigned from his father's campaign after he was caught on an undercover video talking about voter fraud with someone posing as a campaign worker. Patrick Moran, the nephew of State Democratic Party Chairman Brian Moran, is shown first trying to dissuade the worker from impersonating voters, but then offering him advice on how to pull it off.
