Dominion points to ‘printing issue’ after N.J. county reports issues with ballot scanning Dominion Voting Systems said Wednesday that purported issues with ballot scanning in Mercer County, New Jersey, on Election Night were a result of a “printing issue.” “The Dominion tabulators functioned exactly as they should by rejecting incorrectly printed ballots,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement. “We are actively working with Royal Printing and Mercer County election officials on this issue.” Dominion’s statement came after officials in Mercer County asked the local prosecutor to look into issues with machines that they said failed to scan ballots on Tuesday. Mercer County clerk Paula Sollami Covello said Wednesday in a phone interview that the ballots that could not be scanned by the Dominion machines were ultimately counted at a board of elections office in a process supervised by a bipartisan commission. “We are not suspicious of any specific wrongdoing, but we do need to investigate the matter fully," the clerk added. In an email, a spokeswoman for the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the clerk had gotten in touch. Dominion was the subject of a string of unfounded conspiracy theories and baseless claims following the the 2020 presidential election. The firm sued Fox News as well as some Trump allies and right-wing broadcasters for defamation.
