Several Decatur County voters are concerned about problems with the voting machines at the Election Commission Office. Voters claim they tried to vote for McCain for President but the machine checked Obama instead.
At least three voters encountered the problem when casting their early ballot on Saturday morning. Franklin Boroughs says he intended to vote for Republican but rather the computer had checked the Democratic candidate instead.
Wanda and Barney Blasingim similarly said they tried to vote for McCain but the machine switched the vote.
"I noticed the problem immediately," Wanda said Monday. She says she touched the "button" for McCain a second time and the problem was corrected. Her husband said he asked for assistance from election workers and was told the error sometimes occurs when a person's finger touches close to the line of the box the candidate's name is in.

Yahoo for TX. My brothers and I share ownership in a condo in The Woodlands. I live on the Left Coast.
Yes. I know you are not to wear any campaign sort of stuff but I figured red would be good and my American Flag..it’s a dandy similar to the one Sara Palin wears..had it for years. Also got earrings but they are a tad heavy so use them on the 4th of July as pins.
Where we are you just color in the little oval just like the good old days at school when we had to take the Iowa Standard tests..color in the little oval and stay inside the lines.
CHOOSE THE PAPER BALLOT!
Our voting precinct has always used Optical Scanners and it's obvious for whom you're voting, when you make the mark on the ballot.
“The old push card ballots were just fine.”
And the fill in the arrow Scantron style is better.
“The software development of many or most American voting machines was recently subcontracted to a Venezuelan company.”
Yeah, the company that programs the software for the electronic voting machines in 17 U.S. states and D.C. called Smartmatic is underwritten by the Marxist government of President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, and the minions in his Bolivarian Revolution.
It’s a social revolution that is driven by radical leftist educators and it is built on the educational precepts that Bill Ayers developed and has himself been using for the past 30 years to revolutionize the educational curriculum in Chicago’s public schools to fulfill a radical leftist political agenda.
BTW, I really doubt this will affect the outcome in Tennessee!
Exactly. We learned in the endless lawsuits of 2000, that optical scanning was the most accurate of all the methods available. It’d dead simple and one reason I vote absentee in CA. I do not trust ATM-style “electronic voting” one iota.
We used to, but those that need income redistribution could never line up the check box with the names.
Add in the hackability and closed source software and you'll see the voting process is too important for too broad an audience to be using these horrible Deibold or Sequoia and similar machines.
Here's a video show how, even after re-calibration, the machine still picked the wrong candidates. YouTube
Optical scan is the best of both worlds with fast accurate counting and easy verifiability by hand.
Sure know how to ruin a guys morning don’t ya?
Why is this so hard for those in charge of choosing voting machines to understand?
Is it because they WANT voting to be difficult or easily compromised? Are they just stupid? Did they take bribes from the manufacturers? WHAT? Why do they go out of their way to make it difficult and easy to compromise?
Well, the exception is that if it's not CLOSE they can't CHEAT. In 2004 Bush won by a comfortable 5 million votes. I'll settle for that margin. No way the Rats get to dummy up over 5 million.
Early voting is a form of absentee voting in Davidson County, TN. You can't vote by mail-in absentee in Davidson County unless you certify that you are going to be outside your registered voting precinct the entire election day. You would have me act like a Democrat and lie about it? Since I work on one side of the county and reside on the other, I consider early voting a wonderful invention. I can vote during lunch during my work day instead of standing in lines at the polls before or after work on election day. There's no need to eschew modern conveniences and resort to pen, paper and standing in line for hours on end. I really don't see the opportunity for fraud any more than a one day election. The number of voters are posted each day on the election website. If on election night your final vote total doesn't equal the early voting total plus the election night total, then there's a problem.
Simple , using the fictional registrations it gives time for the crooked operatives to move around from place to place voting for Obama and other RAT causes. I figure we ought to film the polling places secretly and open up a website where the film can all be downloaded and then checked for the same people appearing in multiple places.
