PolitiChicks.tv has just received confirmation that a voter in Las Vegas tried voting for Governor Mitt Romney but the machine automatically checked “Obama” multiple times instead.
Our source said:
“Yesterday I went to an early voting site at Centennial Center in Las Vegas, NV. I went with my 19 year old son who was a first-time voter. I went to an open machine and inserted my card. When the selections came up, all of the candidate pairings were listed and I touched the box for Romney/Ryan. The checkmark appeared next to President Obama’s name. I touched the check mark removing it and touched the box next to Romney’s name again. Again, the checkmark appeared next to Obama. I motioned for an observer to come over and showed him. I touched the mark next to Obama, removing it and again touched Romney’s name. The checkmark appeared next to Obama. At this point, the gentleman next to me was looking over my partition to see. I touched the checkmark, again removing it from Obama’s name and selected Romney. The checkmark appeared next to Romney. I double-checked the paper ballot to ensure that Romney was indeed selected and cast my ballot. I didn’t make a fuss but have called our local election department only to get recordings. I also wrote an email to the Clark County Election Department about the incident. My son said that he had no issues casting his ballot.”
I called the Las Vegas GOP office but haven’t gotten a response from anyone about this yet.
Please folks, check and re-check your ballots before turning them in. A similar case was reported earlier today in North Carolina.
Send this story to your precinct delegate so they know what could possibly happen. I just sent it to mine. If you don’t know who it is you should be able to get it from your County Clerk or equivalent office.
Ayayay, these stories just make me want to crawl in a hole somewhere. Lord, please keep the voter fraud down, down, down. oy
Bump
If it doesn’t happen on every machine then it’s just a touchscreen calibration problem. If it was programmed to always select zero it would be happening on every machine.
Dumbest thing I ever heard of using touchscreen pcs for voting.
Are all those deleted votes for Obama being counted as votes for him?
Mrs. Dearolddad and I just voted here in Hemby Bridge, NC The voting machines worked just fine however, I went back over the entire ballot prior to hitting the cast vote button. Crowd was large!
This is why we still have Dingy Harry.
The Dems are not that stupid.
If they have one or two machines doing this, and the vote is tight, these machines can help get them the needed votes to steal the election.
If every machine did this even the Lame Stream Media would have to report it and then everyone would know. Having a single machine do this in every precinct would still allow the Dems to hide behind the "calibration" issue.
Don’t delete more than once. Get the vote watcher to come over and take the votes out for Obama in front of you. One deleted or more will be a counted for for Obama. I bet they won’t show as deleted. I had trouble voting 2008. Looks like the same thing. Contact your SOS; voting commission. The more complaints they receive; the less they can ignore.
And union county is mostly white - so good news! Lots of people who look like they’d be supporting Romney at the polls?
Its’ time (long overdue) to allow cameras and video cameras in polling locations. Any activity denied camera access is an open invitation to fraud and illegal activity. “Where there is no light, darkness will ensue and evil is rampant.”
