Yeah, I’ve never heard of that happening, either.

I utterly detest Democrats.

The problem will never be totally corrected and the communists democrats did plan it that way. Wonder how many thousands of voters have been duped and cannot correct.

Since when is calibration synonymous with criminal?

First in Illinois, and now in Maryland. Where next?

What landslide? These are landslides

That arrogant pos had even less votes in 2012 than he had in 2008 which was no landslide either

‘Calibration issue’

The machines are supposed to change the votes to Democrat after the voter finishes filling in the ballot.

Not to worry, this little glitch will be fixed by 2016.

I was afraid of this. Yelling and screaming about voter ID while the real fraud was being perpetrated at the source.

Been saying this for a couple of years. Voting Machines are to easy to manipulate for them to worry about Voter ID, it is all a smoke screen.

Now, if it judged the location wrong or associated it with the wrong selection, that is a big issue, but it could very well be due to some sort of calibration.

B$. Do ATMs make those kinds of mistakes? No, they don't, and Deibold makes both machines.

Any update on the NAACP NC voting “planned fraud”?

“B$. Do ATMs make those kinds of mistakes? No, they don’t, and Deibold makes both machines.”

I’m sure if the touchscreen is not calibrated correctly, they could. However, when an ATM does something like that, an “Out of Order” label gets slapped on it very quickly, which is why you probably have never experienced it. They don’t go and write a newspaper article about it.

If it is not "calibrated correctly" it is in fact, calibrated correctly to produce the desire result. It is only defined as a calibration error when they get caught.

“If it is not “calibrated correctly” it is in fact, calibrated correctly to produce the desire result.”

Remember, we’re now talking about ATMs (which you brought up), not voting machines. So, in that context, your response doesn’t make any sense at all.

Maybe not to you, but to anyone that has a clue it makes perfect sense. There is no such thing as a calibration error, there is however a way to calibrate a voting machine so as to rig the vote, and that is all we are talking about.

The machines are rigged purposely to do exactly what they intend for them to do. These machines are the simplest form of a computer.

“There is no such thing as a calibration error...”

According to who? You?

Do you have any idea how a machine with a touchscreen actually works, or is it just a magic box to you?

Yes I do, what you are trying to do is convince us that these are simple calibration errors, a meme that the democrats love to push. I don't expect it to be pushed on FR. Show me one instance where a calibration error resulted in a Republican was given a vote because a democrat vote was switched. You can't because if it had happened it would be on on the MSM nightly.

No, I simply took exception to your statement that “there is no such thing as a calibration error”, as that is completely false. Any machine with a touchscreen is open to a calibration problem, so to deny the possibility is just fantasy.

There are roughly 322 million iPad devices in circulation and the big news story is when people try to launch a web browser the mail app launches instead, because of a calibration error. Can you point us to one such complaint?

My point is that it is not a calibration Error it is in fact a deliberate calibration adjustment to change votes. It is fraud pure and simple and for you to try and convince us that this simply a routine calibration error, is just ludicrous.

Sure thing, how about six of them?:

“My point is that it is not a calibration Error it is in fact a deliberate calibration adjustment to change votes.”

Well, unless you have inspected the machines in question, there is really no way for you to know that. It might be true, but at this point you’re not talking “facts”, you’re talking “speculation”.

“It is fraud pure and simple and for you to try and convince us that this simply a routine calibration error, is just ludicrous.”

Again, I’m not trying to convince you of that, no matter how many times you claim falsely that I am. As I said before, I am just disputing your false assertion that it can’t be a calibration error. Anyone who had the most basic understanding of how a device with a touchscreen works would know that it very well could be a calibration error. Since you say otherwise, it’s obvious you have no idea what you are talking about.
