up here in canada we get this slip of paper and you put an x in the circle of the person you want....

in all honesty the machine was probably doing the right thing.

'calibration error' is claimed. This 'error' was only caught because the voter noticed the fraud.

Hmm, reading the actual article it says one machine. The error would have been caught by every single R voting. Quite the nefarious 'plot'.

"When he pointed it out to a judge, it was determined that the machine hadn't been calibrated correctly, he said. He ultimately was able to vote for the candidates he chose by pressing the very bottom right hand corner of the screen. Pressing the center of each button resulted in the opposite candidate's name registering."

Scalzitti said the machine in question was removed from service to be re-calibrated immediately and that there were no other reports of voters having similar problems.

Fix your bullshit title if you have some modicum of integrity. The only fraud is you. Seek help.

Basically the same in Oklahoma, connect the lines with a special pen. I used the electric machines in Ohio, I could see some advantages, but seems like a lot more disadvantages. Biggest advantages I see would be for people with disabilities, because I think they can read to you and you can change the text size (I think, I didn't use these features).

Here we use fill in the bubble voting, disabled folk use a special touch screen machine. A machine that is compliant with the ADA is required at all polling places.

A very big difference is we have far more elections than you do, your style of voting wouldn't work here at all, as we have many dozens of things to vote for each election.

One interesting thing after 2000 election debacle most counties went out and got touch screen machines in California, and after a few years almost all of the counties have abandoned them in favor of filling in the bubble voting.

In NY, you fill out a paper ballot with a pen and then slip it into the machine to be read electronically. The bonus to this method, besides creating a paper trail, is you only need a few scanners per polling location since you can erect lots of cheap privacy booths for filling out the ballot.

Sounds like one of those old-style shitty touch screens. The MTA has a bunch for purchasing train tickets and MetroCards. Every now and then, I run across one that has a barely functioning touch screen. It also sounds like you're tilting at windmills.

If only they had had voter ID. This fraud would never have happened.

Quite the 'fruad' and 'rigged' machine (not machines as you purposely exaggerated). I can see you have no integrity so perhaps a kick in the ass from a mod might do you some good? Doubtful.

This was just one machine that was messing up. By the way does anyone remember when there were more than one machine during the 2012 elections that were changing the vote for Barrack Obama to Mitt Romney? Here is the link and it has the video.

Don't forget the CEO of Diebold guarantee that Bush would win Ohio in the 04 election. They supplied the machines used in Ohio.

It was just one cop who did something bad. It's not indicative of the entire police force.

It was just one voting machine that messed up. It's not indicative of the entire voting system. For every machine reported goofy there certainly are not untold numbers going unreported :p

The older generation of touchscreen monitors require software calibration. Before calibration, touching the screen results in a random different spot to register. You run the monitor's supplied calibration software, instructs you to touch the screen in a few specific locations, and afterwards the software is calibrated to correctly register the touch where you meant it to be.

True, but when I early voted last week in San Diego, they only had the touchscreens set up. From now on, I'm going to ask to vote with them at my local poling place. My poling place has always had one touchscreen set up the previous times I voted but they always just handed me a paper ballot by default. The touchscreen machine was nicer than filling in the bubble and it printed a receipt where I could verify it.

It`s okay Cubby we get it.....but let me ask one question...

When was the last time a voting machine shot or killed a black person in the back?
When was the last time a voting machine took somebody cell phone as evidence and then erased the evidence?
When was the last time a voting machine got mad at you because the voting machine could not illegally search your car??

LMFAO!

A thread has an error that is biased against democrats and the mods come out in full force to edit the shit out of it. Meanwhile there are a half dozen threads on the front page alone that twist the facts, straight up lie or just make shit up in favor of democrats and those are all A OK!

Come on guys...at least try to not be so obvious in your corruption.

I responded to a complaint. If you see thread titles that are blatant lies, feel free to use the report post button. You already know that mod callouts are against the rules. -Admin DrPizza

If a voting machine shot a white person in the back, would that be ok?

If it makes your butt any less sore, the mod forgot to change 'Crook' County to Cook County. Poor persecuted conservative. :'( If you guys could be a little less obvious with your overt lies and exaggerations and be a little more stealth? If you have a problem with 'a half dozen threads on the front page alone that twist facts, straight up lie or just make shit up in favor of democrats' maybe use the little report triangle, instead of personifying the problem. Just a thought, hope you butt heals quick. :rolleyes:

I edited that thread title 10 times. My tablet crashed every time I attempted to add the mod note. It doesn't deal with advanced editing and bold text for some weird reason. "Crook" seemed not to be too excessive. -DrPizza

Another example of how the defective conservative mind works - it was one booth and no evidence of tampering whatsoever,.. yet, the OP feels he is threatened.

Cook County Voter Fraud?
You'll never prove it.
You'll never get Eric Holder to send out the FBI to investigate.

Why should he?
Look what happened last time the FBI looked at elections in Cook County.

1982 Cook County
100,000 fraudulent votes cast according to the grand jury.
58 convictions


Webb said Valukas` investigation should be as widespread
as the one conducted after the November, 1982, election by Webb, then U.S. attorney, in which the grand jury concluded that 100,000 fraudulent votes had been cast.

The two-year investigation into the 1982 election, which involved more than 100 agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reviewing records of about 1 million voters, resulted in 62 indictments and 58 convictions.

FBI found that fraudulent voting methods employed by Democrats included:
Preying on the Disabled and Elderly.
As described in the Olinger decision, votes of the elderly and disabled were regularly stolen at the residences where they lived. Their wishes were ignored, and the judges of election, under instructions from the precinct captain, punched a straight Democratic ticket.

Impersonating Absent Voters.
Although the canvass disclosed that a number of persons who were registered to vote in the precinct had died, moved away, or for some other reason had become ineligible to vote, these persons were not struck from the list of eligible voters. Finally on election day the defendants, either personally or by acting through others, caused numerous false ballots to be cast for the straight Democratic ticket.

Registering Aliens.
U.S. Attorney Dan Webb estimated that 80,000 illegal aliens were registered to vote in Chicago.[36] Dozens of aliens were indicted and convicted for registering and voting,[37] and one individual was indicted for recruiting an illegal alien to register to vote.

False Registrations.
Another way to obtain names that could be voted on election day was to have people falsely register to vote in a precinct.

Casting Fraudulent Absentee Ballots.
Precinct captains would ask their workers "to encourage voters to apply for absentee ballots whether or not they had a valid reason to do so and to turn the blank ballots over" so that the captains could vote the ballots.

Buying Votes.
The going rate for a vote in one particular Chicago ward was two dollars, and some precinct captains kept a supply of dollar bills ready on election day solely for buying votes. Alcohol was also used as an incentive to get people to the polls, with one hotel manager ordering "the liquor in advance from the precinct captain.

Altering the Vote Count.
Changing the actual vote count was another method of fraud. For example, one precinct captain and his son held their own fraudulent election after the polls closed by repeatedly running two ballots through the voting machine.

Anyone like me, who was born and raised in Cook County, knows just because the Feds refuse to investigate doesn't mean that a fraud didn't happen.
