Tabulator failure at Alaiedon Township polling place

Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum confirmed a failed voting tabulator at an Alaiedon Township polling place Nov. 3, 2026. Voters placed ballots in a sealed box for counting by Democratic and Republican election inspectors after polls closed. A repair technician was being sent. The exact fault, affected-ballot count and completed restoration were not established. The article's separate election-monitor discussion is unrelated; no cyber cause was reported.
