State confirms voting machine glitch in Va. Beach, Newport News
Quote:
The Virginia Department of Elections has confirmed 11 voting machines had irregularities on Election Day in Virginia Beach and Newport News.
Glitch prompts Dems to seek longer voting hours in Conn.

There are reports from a couple of other states. I will add links when I find them.

Don't they test these machines before election day?

Sure, but some of them recorded the votes correctly so the Dems needed to make sure they got "uncalibrated."

States ditch electronic voting machines | TheHill

"States have abandoned electronic voting machines in droves, ensuring that most voters will be casting their ballots by hand on Election Day.

With many electronic voting machines more than a decade old, and states lacking the funding to repair or replace them, officials have opted to return to the pencil-and-paper voting that the new technology was supposed to replace.

Nearly 70 percent of voters will be casting ballots by hand on Tuesday, according to Pamela Smith, president of election watchdog Verified Voting.

Why didn't any of these glitches show up in the 2012 election, when the Democrats were sure to win anyway?

Oh, I just answered my own question.

They've had two years between elections to test these machines and fix them. How in the world can they possibly be defective on election day?

We use paper ballots that are photoscanned. We've been using these a good 40 or 50 years and they're 99.9% accurate.

Democrats will start claiming fraud since they got they're asses kicked. It is ironic because they are the ones claiming there is no fraud.
