Voters at 10 to 12 early voting sites in Shelby County reportedly have complained about problems getting touch-screen voting machines to show the candidate they voted for, the Daily Memphian reports. According to Action News 5, Shelby County members of the Legislative Democratic Caucus held a press conference Thursday evening to address the reports. The Shelby County Election Commission refuted claims that any irregularities have occurred, but instructed election officials at all of the sites to make styluses available to all voters. Shelby County Elections Administrator Linda Phillips said in a statement that, "To date, no voting irregularities have been identified." She encouraged voters to "carefully review their ballot before casting it." If voters have concerns, they should request assistance from election officials at the site and not leave the location until they are satisfied they have been able to vote for their choices in all of the races and referendums on the ballot.
