‘The View’: Sunny Hostin Side-Eyes Her Voting Location for Having Zero Functional Ballot Machines

On Tuesday morning, “The View” host Sunny Hostin cast her early midterm vote, but the ABC host expressed skepticism over her polling location not having a single operational ballot machine. The women discussed their excitement for election day to finally end the campaign ads and discourse, while also expressing concerns about potential challenges if a projected blue wave occurs and the president attempts to contest the results.

Hostin, who lives in Westchester County, had an experience that fueled her doubts. Upon arriving at the polling place before 7 a.m., she filled out her ballot and attempted to submit it to a machine, only to be informed that it was malfunctioning. She then inquired about the other machines in the room and discovered that they too were not functioning.

Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that the issue was widespread and being reported by various outlets, ultimately attributing it to the thickness of the paper ballots. Westchester County Board of Elections reassured voters that every ballot cast would still be counted, despite Hostin's reservations. Farah Griffin advised voters to trust the processes in place, while Whoopi Goldberg suggested that individuals could deliver their ballots to the board of elections, which are required to accept and count them. The "The View" airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
