LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A TikTok video showing a Kentucky ballot machine malfunctioning is going viral online.

In the video, it appears to show a voter in Laurel County repeatedly tap Donald Trump's name on the touchscreen, but it never gets selected. At one point when tapping Trump's name, Kamala Harris' name actually gets selected.

Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown said the Attorney General's Office came to investigate and found it took several minutes to recreate the situation and then couldn't get it to happen again.

That device is now back in service and the clerk said it hasn't seen anymore issues.

He said the voter who posted the video did get to cast her correct ballot.

If you suspect voter fraud, Attorney General Russell Coleman said to call the fraud hotline number at 1-800-328-VOTE.
