County officials blame voters for flipped votes


WINFIELD, W.Va. -- Three Putnam County voters say electronic voting machines changed their votes from Democrats to Republicans when they cast early ballots last week.



This is the second West Virginia county where voters have reported this problem. Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for "Barack Obama" kept flipping to "John McCain".



In both counties, Republicans are responsible for overseeing elections. Both county clerks said the problem is isolated.



They also blamed voters for not being more careful.
