Last week a voting machine in Cook County, Illinois switched votes for Republicans to votes for Democrats. Election officials blamed a "calibration error" for the change. Now, the same thing is happening in Maryland and again officials are citing a "calibration error." More from Watchdog.org:
Voting machines that switch Republican votes to Democrats are being reported in Maryland.
“When I first selected my candidate on the electronic machine, it would not put the ‘x’ on the candidate I chose — a Republican — but it would put the ‘x’ on the Democrat candidate above it,” Donna Hamilton said.
“This happened multiple times with multiple selections. Every time my choice flipped from Republican to Democrat. Sometimes it required four or five tries to get the ‘x’ to stay on my real selection,” the Frederick, Md., resident said last week.
Queen Anne County Sheriff Gary Hofmann said he encountered the problem, too, personally.
“This is happening here as well. It occurred on two candidates on my machine. I am glad I checked. Many voters have reported this here as well,” Hofmann, a Republican, wrote in an email Sunday evening.
"Calibration errors," which coincidentally don't switch votes cast for Democrats to votes for Republicans, rather the other way around, seem to be happening quite frequently. As I said last week, these machine errors were visible, what about the changes these machines are making to votes cast for Republicans that aren't visible? How many registered voters have had their votes and participation in the process stolen as a result of "faulty" machines?
Meanwhile, be sure to check out the newly released report about the alarming number of non-citizens voting in, and swaying, U.S. elections.
Yes, on The Simpsons. Homer, being an idiot, naturally decided to vote for fellow idiot Obama in 2008, only to find that the evil Republican voting machines kept changing his vote to McCain (who in fairness, is also an idiot).
We absolutely have to go back to a paper ballot and a slow count.
We need to have all precincts report at once with no public release until all have reported.
We need to have a thumb or fingerprint next to a name on the voter rolls. ID cards are OK, but even those are forgible. Use indelible ink that takes 48 hours to wear off.
We need to return to one day for voting.
Which suggests that 99% of republican local leadership is uninvolved in the voting process.
“Calibration error”: showing the voter how his ballot is going to be counted.
Amazing how hose repub votes always change to dimbulbcrat - and not the other way.
And, while we’re at it, the software could easily be programmed such that the ballot selections saved for counting and those printed out do not match.
Heck, that’s so simple that even an West Wing Techidiot could do it.
So, you walk away thinking your votes were counted correctly. Your thinking was incorrect.
Not to worry, though.
After all the ILLEGAL ALIENS get their citizenship soon, voting will not matter.
Unless we make sure the libs realize that such a thing means CW-II.
And we know where they live.
Where are the machines that change Democrat votes to Republican votes? The law of averages would dictate that these errors would happen equally often, but it doesn’t. That’s how we can tell it is voter fraud.
Even if a paper copy was produced, what is that supposed to mean? If the screen can “interpret” a GOP button-push as a “Dem” vote, why can it not as well produce a GPO vote receipt vs a Dem one?
If you think about it, there is essentially no way outside of DNA-confirmed/correlated vote tallying that can produce a pure result free of any influence....and that, at some level, destroys the anonymity of voting.
remember obama outsourced many voting issues to Spain. see it is all part of the program.
That's what I fear, the programmer accidentally sent the write command to the screen as well as the database. Easily tested if the machines would print a receipt of your selections! That should be made law ASAP.
Halliburton!
find out who programmed them and arrest them.
The less crudely programmed machines won’t show on the screen that the vote is not what the voter thinks it is. The precinct bosses nee to pay more for their techies.
The democrats know we wont do anything about it.
Democrats are criminals...
Yes. It's how Obola won in 2012, and it's how the D's will maintain power this year. Not like us "Americans" are gonna do anything about. Other than piss and moan.
What does it matter what the screen says or what the internal tabulation acutually is when a Soros company downloads and counts the votes?
I think that would be easy. Send “X” to printer and “Y” to tabulator.
