Philadelphia District Attorney: No evidence of fraud or intimidation at polls

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said Tuesday he has found no evidence of fraud or intimidation at the city's polls despite Republican candidate Donald Trump's warnings about voter fraud.

 

Williams said no major problems have emerged among the 68 complaints his office investigated during the first half of Election Day.

 

Meantime, several Pennsylvania counties reported a handful of complaints about touchscreen machines switching votes. They said the machines are quickly being re-calibrated to fix the problem.

 

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Pedro Cortes said the GOP reported problems with about 25 machines, out of nearly 24,000 deployed statewide. He said in all cases votes ended up being recorded correctly.

 

State GOP Chairman Rob Gleason said he doesn't see anything "nefarious" in the apparent vote switching on older machines.
