Touchscreens do this all the time on ATM Machines and other applications. They are completely unnacceptable for voting.

Wasn’t this idea floated on the simpsons halloween special? (With the opposite result of course)

How hard would it be to just have paper ballots?

Strange, read on DU how they said votes for obamination were going to be switched to McCain and to watch out for it. Interesting. Last year I got to punch chads.

DOH!!!

Did anybody see the Homer Simpson scene where he was voting for Obama and the machine did the exact same thing?

“Art” imitating reality, or the other way around?

There have also been reports of Obama votes being switched to McCain in some areas of the country using touch screens. I doubt its vote stealing. Most likely the problem is that the touch screens aren’t calibrated correctly.

They need to dump the computerized machines and go back to mechanical voting machines.

I saw on the news tonight where the same thing happened to a lady trying to vote for Obama. Her vote went to McCain. I don’t recall if it was corrected or not, but the same thing happened.

CHOOSE THE PAPER BALLOT!

ROTFL!! There was a skit on "Chocolate News" (a hilarious show starring David Alan Grier on Comedy Central) last week that had voting machines doing the exact opposite. Folks would vote Obama, and the machine would question their vote, give them a chance to change it, then when they still voted for Obama, the machine said "Thank you for voting for John McCain."

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.
