Rawl said his campaign has gotten reports of "extremely unusual incidents" ranging voters who repeatedly pressed the screen for Rawl only to have the other candidate's name appear, to poll workers who had to change program cards multiple times, to at least one voter in the Republican primary who had the Democratic U.S. Senate race appear on her ballot.
