Glitch in US polls: EVM swaps Obama with Romney

Washington: An electronic voting machine selected Republican nominee Mitt Romney even when a voter chose incumbent Barack Obama in the just concluded US presidential poll.

The machine in Pennsylvania was taken out of service after being captured on video changing a vote for Obama into one for Romney, NBC News reported today.

The video was first posted on YouTube by user ‘centralpavoter’. It shows a voter’s finger repeatedly pressing the button for Obama, but a check mark coming up next to Romney’s name.
