Puerto Rico Blames Dominion Software for Vote Count Errors

On June 11, a week after Puerto Rico’s primary election, the elections commission reported issues with Dominion Voting Systems, renewing concerns over election integrity. Hundreds of errors were noted by the commission just months before the United States’ presidential election, where 40% of Americans are expected to use Dominion machines.

According to the elections commission, Dominion voting machines produced inaccurate vote totals due to a “software issue.” These errors were seen in both gubernatorial and mayoral races. The machine-counted votes were lower than the paper ballot counts. Some machines reversed vote totals while others reported zero votes for certain candidates. The commission is reviewing its contract with Dominion, which ends this month, following these discrepancies.

Over 6,000 Dominion machines were used in the primary election and hundreds were audited after the reported software error.

Despite the errors, no official or politician is contesting the results, affirming their legitimacy. However, the vice president of Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives has called on the election commission’s president to address these issues publicly.
