CLEVELAND -- The special elections in Cuyahoga County experienced a few problems, officials said.

Cuyahoga County Elections Director Jane Platten said scanners at the polls gave workers "error messages" at the start of the voting.

Platten believes the problem was most likely linked to the memory cards not being completely inserted into the machines.

NewsChannel5 will have more information about the problem and efforts that will be undertaken to avoid the same problems during the November election.
