HERE'S HOW TOUCHSCREENS KILLED ROMNEY VOTES. WHAT THE MACHINE EXPERT CLAIMS.
WND ^ | 11/13/2012 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 11/14/2012 8:31:40 AM PST by SeekAndFind

A Chicago voting-machine tech is sounding the alarm, claiming he witnessed multiple error messages on the voting touch-screens this election – but only in cases where people voted for Mitt Romney.

Steve Pickrum said he worked for Chicago’s election system during the early voting and Election Day voting for the 2012 race.

As an equipment manager for the system, Pickrum said, he responded whenever there was a glitch with a voting machine.

“On early voting, when I did work on the floor when voters needed help using the equipment, I was able to see the preference of the voter, and every time that I saw [a] voter voted for Romney a ‘voter save failure’ message came up on the screen,’” he reported.

Then when he went on Election Day to cast his own vote, he picked Romney and experienced the same error message.

Pickrum said he worked at both the Matteson voting area as well as in Precinct 70, and although he discussed the anomalies with his boss, had not yet filed a formal report.

He said when he voted, he was told by a precinct worker to just go ahead and assume that his vote had been tabulated, despite the error message. But since he knew the operations of the machines, he asked the poll workers to check the vote report, and they found his vote had not been counted.

He insisted on completing his ballot on another machine, he told WND.

Curiously, he reported he never saw the error message when the voter was choosing Barack Obama.

Another poll worker, this one assigned at the University of Michigan, reported a list of irregularities, including that the precinct captain told her at one point, “You go sit down, you're bothering me,” when she was trying to observe the proceedings.

All votes should be on paper ballots and as you turn it in a running tabulation kept that the voter and everyone else can see.
There is absolutely no reason that this cannot be done.

We need to speak out not be silences, being silent only helps the left to bring us more into socialism which the socialist workers party wants

Col West has opened the door.

We must fight election fraud.

It falls on ‘We the People’.

There’s overwhelming evidence of fraud.- Here

Excerpt from Mitt Romney's reference:

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

We are FReepers. We must fight!

Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!

Romney drew massive crowds and Obama did not. Even big celebrities couldn't produce people for the bit 0. Time after time Romney drew 20,000 to 30,000 and in the same states Obama drew few to 3,000.

Romney was sure he was going to win and Obama acted as though he he knew he'd lose.

My MA town voted for a GOP president for the first time in the 46 years I've been here. My sister's town did, too. We have paper ballots.

get the votes, see who voted and then cross those names off with the voter registraion rolls.

The GA media did this back in 2008 for FL and found obama did not win FL.

I gurantee that if those 50 /50 split votes which were supposed to think were checked then they woudl find the military votes went for Romney

Just check where the results really do not add up like in WI, FL, VA, OH, .

you turn it in a running tabulation kept that the voter and everyone else can see.That's a good idea. Wouldn't cost much. But keeping the ballot secret is important too. In the old days back east, there were goons watching how you voted

There are several things that could be done to prevent this kind of mess in the future: All states need to have photo ID in place. Same day registration needs to be banned. Electronic voting needs to be replaced with serialized paper ballots that are marked in ink. There needs to be a time and date stamp on the ballot when it goes through the machine, this would be in conjunction with a time / date on a sign in for registered voters (no more checkmarks), Purple finger ink. Video monitoring of all polling places. Poll watchers have authority to shut down voting should anything questionable happen.

Inside the ballot machine there needs to be a locked container for the ballots with a chain of custody attached, Everyone with access to that container will sign the COC and if any irregularities are found with those ballots everyone on that COC will be subject to persecution and no less that 25 years in prison or execution.

Time to start a massive, noisy registration exodus? Constitution Party is where I’m leaning. Again. After I tried getting in with the Rs here in Illinois. They don’t really want you if you don’t do a lot of boot-licking first. That’s why we get who we get. I’m speaking as a would-be candidate. Anyway, just a thought ...

St Lucie provides a great test for the Florida system.

The state should take advantage of the opportunity and do a hand count and a machine count of every ballot and every vote which would expose either the flaws in the system or the flaws in the people running the system.

I agree that paper ballots are better than voting machines.

However—those of us in heavily Democratic states know that the ballot box can be stuffed in strongly Democratic precincts after the Republican poll watchers are escorted off the premises.

Recent thefts in earlier elections include the governor races in Washington State (Seattle late counts) and Connecticut (Bridgeport late counts).

have no doubt at all that Romney won this election. It was stolen.

I fully agree. 100 percent.

Where is the GOP on this issue? If they aren't going to confront this issue with everything they've got, they need to dissolve the party and let the United States be a one party state fully --because that is what it technically is.

This is the only issue that matters right now as far as I am concerned.

I find this story highly dubious, since Chicago does not use and has never used touch-screen voting machines. Chicago uses paper ballots that are filled in by hand with a pen, then scanned by a ballot reader. They used to use punch cards, but that was abandoned after 2000 and the “hanging chad” fiasco.

If this is not being covered by ALL the media, it is not an issue.

It is not being covered much at all.

Well your system could be made so no one could tell how you are voting.

With out a secret ballot the election is not honest. I remember voting in Gary , Indiana where there were goons watching to see that you voted the way they wanted you to vote.

Hell, even the Iraqis managed to have a legal election. One person, one vote, one purple thumb. Easy breezy. But here in the states? We have to be stuckonstoopid and do things the leftie way so they can cheat.

And you have to ask yourself WHY not even our side (supposedly) has even tried to ‘fix’ this nation’s voting irregularities. Bush had years of total GOP control in which he could have fixed these problems. But nooooo!

Now it’s too damned late. I seriously doubt that the radical left will ever lose another election in the USA again.

Again....we are now screwed in every way humanly and unhumanly possible. Might as well deal with that reality.

“All votes should be on paper ballots and as you turn it in a running tabulation kept that the voter and everyone else can see.
There is absolutely no reason that this cannot be done.”
