DescriptionThe nifty write-in feature on the new electronic voting machines attracted something different in Tuesday’s election: profanity.

“I’m disturbed by some of the swear words,” said Luzerne County Election Bureau Director Leonard Piazza.

He was most offended by a pair of “c” words which appeared several times.

“That’s disgusting. If that’s the kind of word you’re going to type into these machines, then you ought not to be bothering to vote because that’s an insult to the voting process,” Piazza said.
