Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media platform X to raise concerns about a troubling incident reported by a voter in Whitfield County, Georgia’s 14th district.
According to Greene, a constituent noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the choices they made on the voting machine, with some of their selected candidates being changed. A viral Facebook post detailed the experience:
“FYI to all my voting friends and family, a friend of mine in Whitfield County yesterday voted, checked his selections, then printed it, checked the printed version, and it was not marked the same!!! Please really look at the printed ballot after completion. Very strange occurrence. After several attempts for correction, they voided that ballot and machine, and he had to revote on another machine! PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRINTED BALLOT!!!!!!!!!”
Greene echoed this, writing on X: “This happened in Whitfield County in my district – GA-14. We vote on Dominion voting machines, then it prints a paper ballot with our selections made on the machines. This voter’s printed ballot had been changed from their selections made on the machine.”
The voter reportedly had to void their ballot after multiple attempts to correct the issue and was forced to use a different machine. Greene emphasized the importance of checking printed ballots for accuracy: “Please double check your printed ballot before you turn it in to make sure it has marked the candidates you voted for!!!”
In an interview, Greene elaborated: “When this voter checked their printed ballot, it had changed. It was not Donald Trump, it was not me, and it was not the other candidates they selected. The machine kept switching the votes.”
The Whitfield County Board of Elections responded quickly, acknowledging the Facebook post and assuring the public that the issue was resolved while the voter was still present. They urged voters to always check their printed ballots and seek assistance if needed.
Greene, while thankful for the swift action, reiterated her call for paper ballots only and broader election reforms: “If it were up to me, Georgia would have paper ballots only, we would require proof of citizenship nationwide for voting, and we would not count noncitizens in the census so districts were drawn on citizenship numbers not total number of people.”
