Shocker: Voting machines changing votes from GOP to Dem...
CRASHR ^ | 10-22-14 | The Looking Spoon

Every election cycle I see this story and it's always...ALWAYS...accidental votes for Democrats.

From Fox News

Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.

Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.

“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”…

Cook County Board of Elections Deputy Communications Director Jim Scalzitti, told Illinois Watchdog, the machine was taken out of service and tested.

“This was a calibration error of the touch-screen on the machine,” Scalzitti said. “When Mr. Moynihan used the touch-screen, it improperly assigned his votes due to improper calibration.”

Uhhhhh huh…

Shocking?, no. Expected?, yes. The Rats will do anything to get their candidate elected, including, but not limited to, voter fraud.

Exactly! It’s as if the Democratic Party’s strongest argument against Voter ID laws is that’s not how the do voter fraud...

It always amazes me that the rat hacker programs it in such a way that the GOP voter can see that his vote is being changed. I suspect that these are just bugs and that there are MANY more GOP votes are being changed without any indication to the voter that it happened.

Just wait... once they’ve perfected the voting machine hacks, they’ll come out as agreeing to have voter IDs.

I have been telling everyone that something is going on. There is NO way the Democrats are winning elections. They’re stealing them.

I am so glad we have Kris Kobach and voter ID. It doesn’t mean the left will find a way to cheat but it’s good to know we’re doing what we can to try to prevent election fraud.

This morning, about 4 hours ago, I called the RNC in D.C. and asked them what they planned to do about this. A live person did not answer so I left a message on their recording device.

I’m still waiting for a call back.

I’m not holding my breath.

If there were ever a “calibration” error causing rat votes to be changed to GOP the story would be continuous loop on CNN/PMSNBC and there would be endless civil rights litigation...

The machines should have been purchased against a spec that requires that no adjustments allow this to happen. For example, if the maximum distance between candidate names is 1/2”, then the spec should require that the machine not be capable of adjustment more than +/- 1/4”. It’s called “failure modes and effects analysis”, and is standard engineering practice. Or with the lack thereof, “malpractice”. Not system is foolproof but you can do things that will weed out 99% of the fools with proper engineering.

Google shows this story is only being reported by Fox News and Washington Times so far. It’s probably destined to join other important news suppressed by the sycophant major media. Expect the democrats to engage in massive fraud this election.

My first exercise of the franchise was in a closed booth with one of those lever-actuated voting machines. This was in the early 1990s.

Like I have been saying in EVERY SINGLE voter fraud thread I can find.

VOTER FRAUD IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Voter fraud is cooked up BS. Yeah. hang me. But it is just to make us look at the wrong thing. It is a classic misdirect. The problem? Election fraud!!

Why are we not screaming about this? I don’t see those “Conservative” politicians doing anything about these BS voting machines. They know it’s a problem and do NOTHING. Hmmmmm.

Bull. The button is assigned, period.

No, a shocker would have been voting machines changing Democrat votes to Republican.
