Los Angeles County is using new vote-counting machines in the March 2020 primary. On January 22, the city of Beverly Hills sued the county over what appears to be a huge design flaw in the new machines. City of Beverly Hills v Logan, Superior Court, Los Angeles County, 20stcp-292. Here is the Complaint. The Complaint says that in any race with more than four candidates, the four candidates who happen to be listed first are displayed on a screen, and the voter must take a particular action on the machine to see the names of the other candidates for that same race. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
Who dreams up the new Age JUNK voting stuff ???
RED communists ???
Folks on drugs ???
Incumbent tyrants ???

@DR,
This is a homebrew system. They probably had assistance from Hollywood (e.g. special effects people from the Titanic).
They are replacing their ink splot system, which kind of uses a Rorschach test to determine who a vote was for.
This sounds like a disaster in the making. Dollars to donuts that they prevent overvotes by unvoting a previous choice.
So you pick a candidate on the first screen, then go to the second screen, and pick another candidate, erasing your first vote.
There are 20 candidates in the Democratic Primary, apparently spread over 5 screen in random alphabetical order. I’m surprised that there isn’t a demand to add ranked choice voting. There is still a week before early voting begins.
This happened on certain voting machines in Texas (iVotronic) in the 2016 Republican presidential primary. The last candidate and Uncommitted appeared on a second screen. Some voters apparently chose the last candidate, negating their other vote.

Can the Fact Checker predict new lottery numbers and the new USA Prez at noon 20 Jan 2021 ???
While I’m not exactly a precog, I have varying visions of future possibilities. The most common vision is that Donald Trump will still be president on January 20, 2021. I don’t have visions of lottery numbers.
How many Nostradamus type vision folks on this list with or without chemicals / electric shocks, etc. ???
Any visions for USA Civil WAR II and/or WW III via Trump tyrant actions ???
