calibration error = you have to find the 1 pixel allotted to the GOP candidate and the rest of the screen is Dem
A calibration error. So, that’s what they’re calling it this week.
Soros calibrated machines
All the mistakes seem to favor the demorat. Just coincidence i ‘m sure.
Must have been the Russians.
This must be some dorky system, that does not require correlation between what is displayed on the screen, and what is pressed on the screen.
Please change the date on this two year old article

I have done automation for 25 years. I have dealt with touch screen essentially since they were invented. I have made very cool and very sophisticated systems over the years that do some pretty cool $hit if I may toot my own horn. The thought of designing a voting interface is in my opinion a laughably simple system that a 5 year old should be able to design. The thought that for however many eleventy billions of dollars government has spent to purchase these pieces of krap no doubt created with “thousands of hours by hundred of engineers” should tell you something. I can honestly say That I can duplicate one of these systems in an hour or two, and it wont accidentally change a vote
This article is from 2014...
Time to go to the election commision meetings and demand they go back to the paper ballots counted by hand.
There should be a tight integration between what the screen shows and what it registers and shows upon a touch.
Given the physical interface maybe it could get out of whack, but on the other hand if I poke the entry for the Libertarian (say), it should cause that entry to flash and become bold and be highlighted in reverse video etc. If I poke that entry and the Green acted like it was selected, then I would know right then that there was a problem. It shouldn’t have to wait till some summary at the end for me to double-check.
OK understand... has it been FIXED systemically?
“...although 2010 saw some Texas votes switched to the Green Party.”
The exception proves the rule. One has to go back 6 years to find an example of Democrat votes being magically changed, but the change is to GREEN PARTY, not Republican.
The DNC email server had a calibration error and sent all their stuff to Wikileaks.

No electronic voting machines.
Evah!
Just a pure coincidence the “calibration error” caused votes to be recorded as Dem and not Republican.
Remember, there is no such thing as rigged elections. Or so the media keeps harping.
Um no idea, and I think it’s okay to post this story, provided everyone’s aware of the article’s date. I just don’t want focus on current fraud to be overlooked, due to too many of these older stories.
