Dorchester County early-voting technical disruption

A technical error in preparing an electronic poll-book file caused some early voters in Dorchester County, South Carolina, to receive the wrong ballot style Oct. 19, 2026. ABC News 4 reported that about 150 voters were affected, citing the State Election Commission; county officials declined to estimate the total. The county elections office said the display problem was resolved by 10 a.m. that day, and the standard ballot-card process resumed Oct. 20. Poll managers manually selected ballot styles during the disruption. No cyber cause was reported.
