The machines do need to be calibrated. Every time I have used this type of machine they have presented me with a screen showing how my votes would be cast. A voter needs to may attention, particularly on touch screen machines.
The candidate notified the election official of the problem and the machine was fixed (calibrated).
Clearly I have no evidence whether or not this was intentional or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are issues with touch screen machines every election.
Tell me though, how would a requirement for a photo id have prevented this type of situation?
This evil liberul has actually been fairly consistent in arguing that it's really goddamn stupid to outsource the tabulation of votes to companies in the private sector, but would the "All government is evil" crowd listen? Of course not. So now the way your elections are actually held is a freakin' trade secret belonging to private companies. Great work, guys! - at least the government isn't involved.
As the CEO of Diebold said in 2004: ""I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." And so they did. Of course, this was GWB and so the right was all hunky-dory.
Anyone who still has confidence in "the government" after seeing the gargantuan abuses of power by this administration is a complete imbecile.
Are both of you so misinformed to not understand I was giving you some ammunition to use in your argument?
Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Illinois and Maryland are the two states most gerrymandered by Democrats. Most gerrymandering is done by Republicans, but Democrats are just as bad in those two states.
So yes... I threw you a lifeline. Be upset about Illinois being gerrymandered blue forever. It is much more detrimental to your cause than the 1 out of every 14.6 million cases of voter fraud.
most Gerrymandering is done by the democrats...has been for 100 years....dems invented it
I wish I could find the old article but at one point California had ordered up a number of the Deibold voting machines and had them sent to Cal Tech and they set them up like a voting center and asked the engineering students to walk in like votes and mess with the machines using everyday common items. One student brought in a water bottle full of Windex, squirted it into the slot where the paper backup was recording votes, made the paper turn black and unreadable. No more Deibold voting machines.
Yep. How many urban precincts are going to have 100% voter turnout with 100% votes cast for the Democrat? Probably all of them.
That would be too obvious, the sneaky thing would be to program the machine to record every fourth vote as a Democrat vote regardless of how it was cast.
