A top executive from the company behind the voting machines that "flipped votes" in Pennsylvania on Tuesday has admitted that "someone from our team programmed the election."

The voting machine issued caused votes in an eastern Pennsylvania county to appear to be "flipped" on a ballot question, officials said Tuesday.

Voters were asked to decide whether Pennsylvania Superior Court Judges Jack Panella and Victor Stabile should be retained for additional 10-year terms.

The "yes" or "no" votes for each judge were switched on a summary displayed to voters before they cast their ballot, said Charles Dertinger, the Northampton County director of administration.
