It's the touchscreen systems.

Chicago's Cook County Board of Elections said it was a calibration error.
I went by the link you provided to back your post? Do folks know how to read the links before they post them as support for a statement?

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?

And what would you expect from the party that gave scum like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy
Pelosi. You think those pig's didn't lie, cheat and steal (and fix elections and voting machines ) to get and stay in office .

Barack even sent the Black Panthers To intimidate voters. Look for more vote fixing in the future. You
don't think the Dem's will give up power easily do you ?

This has been going on for a long time. Always somebody claiming calibration, etc... and somebody else claiming otherwise.

All politicians tell us what we want to hear including your beloved republicans. None of them look out for us. It's all about power with them.

3 western Montana counties plagued by vote-counting machine troubles : Missoulian: News and Resources for Western Montana
quote:
“There was no fix,†said Riggleman, assistant election administrator, on Wednesday. “The technician adjusted and adjusted and adjusted, and called, and talked to people, and it was merely a matter in some cases of running them (ballots) through a second time.â€
At least three counties reported problems with ES&S 650 ballot scanners in this week’s primary: Lincoln, Sanders and Powell counties.

She isn’t about to ask the county to buy a new one, though: “I’ll tell you what, my ballot scanner is only about four years old. It should not be expired.†And she said taxpayers can’t afford another one at $50,000 to $60,000 each.

The BRAD BLOG : Palm Beach, FL Elections Settled by Hand-Count After Op-Scan Computer Misreported Results
quote:
"The hand-count was 100%. We weren't missing a ballot," the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher told The BRAD BLOG this afternoon about what happened over the weekend. "Frankly, without paper ballots and without audits, we would have let the wrong winners serve."
but note that in the cases where paper ballots were used, they had a back up where they could go in and properly recount the ballots by hand.

Are you kidding, have you been living in a hole for the last several years? People make inane videos of themselves doing everything these days. There are 100 hours of video uploaded to Youtube every minute.

Maybe they should be replaced and maybe voter ID should go away at the same time.
I noticed this to finger was on the line so it selected the republican. After you get to the end of the ballet it asks you do want to review and make changes to your ballet this person could have tried to select again

Yes, however, one should study what actually happens during recounts. Many games there. Recounts are not done typically in reality the way most think. The Goldman Sachs thread I posted has a lot of information on this.

That was done in Ohio in 2004 . 2014 has a huge push to steal the right of people to vote, If the article is true it is a travesty as were the other incidents. All should have an equal and fair opportunity to vote, on both sides of the fence.

Why even have machines like that? We do voting the old fashioned way, drawing a line to complete an arrow next to the candidate of your choice.
