Man Tries to Vote for Republican Candidate on Voting Machine, But This Happened

While polling data makes it appear pro-life Republicans will take over the Senate from pro-abortion Democrats, whether votes cast on Election Day line up with those polls in another question. And one of the worries some pro-life voters have is whether illegal voting will prevent pro-life candidates from winning.

virginiaIn Virginia, early reports are showing that some voters may be having problems getting votes registered properly for the candidates they support. One news report indicates voters have experienced voting errors — including voters who say votes for a Republican candidate have been registered for his Democrat opponent.

According to a Virginia Congressman, he has received numerous reports from voters of poll machine irregularities at voting precincts in Virginia’s Second Congressional District.

Here’s more from WAVY:

U.S. Representative Scott Rigell’s office released the following statement regarding the issue:

We have received numerous, credible reports of poll machine irregularity at voting precincts in Virginia’s Second Congressional District. This is very troubling. It is critical that every voter verifies the final summary page before pushing the “cast ballot” option.

Rigell’s Office released a video taken with a voter’s cell phone at Tallwood High School in Virginia Beach shows the voter touch the ballot box for Rigell, but the other candidate’s name is checked.

In a news conference Tuesday he calls the issue “deeply troubling.” He goes on to say, “This issue is real and we’re not even halfway through the day. It’s very troubling… It has our full attention and we’re going to see what unfolds.”

Everything is okay. Once the particular machine which is capturing 100% votes for Democrats is discovered and reported, it is taken out of service for the rest of the day.

(And if you are using paper ballots, who knows how your vote is counted.)

(And who is to stop an election worker from voting a zillion times for the Democrat? Or filling out a zillion of the paper ballots for the Dem, and feeding them into the machine?)

My post from a similar thread;

‘“Has a “calibration error” in software ever benefitted a Republican? Has this ever happened in recorded history???”

I believe I recall one during the last election. Nevada seems to stick in my mind. Of course, if I were really sneaky, I’d rig 50 for the dems, and one for the pubbies, so I could say, “See? It happens!”’

There are some controls, voters are counted as they sign in and the machines have vote count odometers on them. This way if a machine has 5000 votes on the counter but only 3000 voters came to the polling place at that point in the day, there is a mismatch that indicates a problem.

Yeah verily I am rooting for a GOP victory tonight. Yes the Demoncrats are pro-murder of babies. Only argument I have for the piece posted is how many true Pro-Life GOP senators are there really?

Computers are hard. They’ve only been widely used for 35 years and the task of registering the correct entry when the touch screen is pressed is so complex.

Give me a _____ break.

... and if past history serves as a predictor, they count all 5000 anyway, then come up with another 1000 that were somehow lost and count those as well.

The Mark Ritchie recount trick. Before the election, pre-position several beater cars in some Minnesota northwoods towns with premarked ballots in the trunk. The cars are allegedly abandoned, but found during the recount.

And that is how the Frankenfraud got to the Senate.

After working with touch screens and graphic programs for them I am 100% positive this couldn’t happen unless the software was programmed to do Exactly what it did.

If it were a programming error it would replicate on every machine it was loaded on. There is no way they wrote individual code for each machine it was loaded on. More likely they had two programs, one the is correct and responds correctly as you touch the screen in the appropriate area. The other defaults to score your response for the RAT candidate regardless of your selection.

Programming error my @as!
