But of course!

Typical Republican paranoia.

They put an "Out of Service" on the machines.

The issues were only reported in Illinois and Maryland.

But since they are in favor of the D's it's just a "calibration issue".

Bank ATM's don't have these "calibration" errors. I don't see why this continues to happen unless it is deliberate.

Bank atm's are very small screens, with a very physical 1-1 calibration. Its different with these-they tend ot be much higher resolution, and screen dimensions and inputs vary considerably.

I find it highly doubtful that this is deliberate.

How to explain this....in the real world ipads and iphones have almost perfect touchscreen calibration, whereas most of the tablet computers have to be manually calibrated.

At one point I made software that interfaced with tablet computers to do initial calibrations, 95% came to us perfectly calibrated, and about 5% drifted.

So you could argue its more of a hardware problem from that perspective, that those 5% should never be released, but reality is no one wants to toss 5% of them.

I kinda agree though, these should be done better.

It should be noted, at least to my knowledge, that no democrats are claiming that their D votes have been switched to R. Makes one wonder why that is, hmmmm.

So which is it? Fraud or a calibration error? Does anyone have any proof that its other than a calibration error?Anyone going to jail for it?
It is fraud being rebranded by the dems as a "calibration error".

Bull. I say that because real fraud wouldnt show on your screen that it was selecting the other candidate. For fraud this is a amazingly bad execution of it. LOL.

Seriously, no. this really is just calibration issues, but it should cause concern for that reason.

This was in Moline, IL at the Moline Public library:

The clown in this video pushed the line for Dems and he got the results he wanted.
