> Voting machines failed to scan as many as 250,000 ballots in Westchester County during the US midterm elections, CNN reported, citing County Executive Ken Jenkins. The fault affected 332 polling stations in more than 40 municipalities. Authorities said voters could still cast ballots, which would be counted later under established procedures.
