Well, like I had been saying all along, the party that wins on the 4th will be the party that out frauds the other party. It has begun and it will only get worse I fear. Cue up the attorneys and sit back for long and winding road friends. This happens to be voter frasud from the Republican side of the fence.

Some early W.Va. voters angry over switched votes
Jackson County touch-screens switched votes, 3 residents say

At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting for candidates they want to win.

By Paul J. Nyden
Staff writer



At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting for candidates they want to win.

Virginia Matheney and Calvin Thomas said touch-screen machines in the county clerk's office in Ripley kept switching their votes from Democratic to Republican candidates.

"When I touched the screen for Barack Obama, the check mark moved from his box to the box indicating a vote for John McCain," said Matheney, who lives in Kenna.

When she reported the problem, she said, the poll worker in charge "responded that everything was all right. It was just that the screen was sensitive and I was touching the screen too hard. She instructed me to use only my fingernail."

Even after she began using her fingernail, Matheney said, the problem persisted.

When she tried to vote for candidates running for two open seats on the Supreme Court, the electronic machine canceled her second vote twice.
On her third try, Matheney managed to cast votes for both Menis Ketchum and Margaret Workman, Democratic candidates for the two open seats.

They should not use touch screen machines because they can go out of calibration too easily.

I had this problem with TOUCH SCREEN ATMS from Wells Fargo. I keep touching the screen and it keeps highlighting the button below.

It can be very frustrating.

This is NOT voter fraud. It is a technical problem.
They should fix this!!!

I told Wells Fargo, that the touch screen should have an equivalent button on the keypad so I could use the keypad instead.

Like there wasn't voter fraud in 2000 and 2004?
Or weren't you reading the news during those election cycles?

Ever hear of Diebold?

What the hell is your problem? Did I say there wasn't any back then? You are so much of an Obama fantaci that you attack anyone for anything. Sick!!!

Yes, there most certainly was fraud back during the 2000 and 2004 and the 2006 elections. Hell sweeite, there has been fraud well back over 100 years. Why don't you lament against those also? I was one of the few in this country who protested where I live about the damn election being stolen by Bush and his cronies. But of course, the liberals would never dream of being honest. At least I see fraud coming from both sides and this year, it has been ramped up a huge notch, and that is from both sides.

Who the hell said it was the Dems? Are you ObamaBots so deluded that you can't see that I am also reporting about Republican fraud? Get you heads out of your, you know where, and see what is right in front of you. Sheeesh!!! All you want to do is to attack before you even know what you are attacking about. Insane is how you are acting.

Keep in mind Diebold doesnt put its name on the front of voting machines anymore. Diebold machines are labeled Premier Election Solutions.

Dont know what other machines are out there. Evidently paper balloting has become too expensive, at least for Maryland - is there paper balloting in your state?

Where we are going to move, after the election, the state has paper ballots and then they are scanned.
