Md. Board of Elections Probe Republican-To-Democratic Ballot Switch Claims

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ)—Early voting just started last week in Maryland, but there are already accusations that some voting machines are changing Republican votes to Democrat. Now Republicans are calling for an investigation by the State Board of Elections.

[snip]As Marylanders go to the polls, there are concerns that the vote you cast may not be for the candidate you want.

“We’ve heard from scores of citizens in our district and around the state who have had this problem where they hit one button to vote for one person, and when they go to the summary they see that the other person was checked,” said Del Nik Kipke, (R) Anne Arundel County.

Republicans say they’ve received several dozen reports of Republican votes being changed to Democrat.

Calling for an investigation? So now the criminals have plenty of time to cover up their dirty work!

. They need to immediately seize one of the machines that changed votes so the software hack can be uncovered and those responsible charged with election fraud.

I recently noted that back in the horse-and-buggy era, when the majority of people lived in rural areas, they managed to find their way to their polling station on the one day that they got to vote, and find it on the correct day, before the advent of mass media. If voting means so little to people that they won't be bothered to know when and where to vote, in this day of mass media, public transportation, and urbanisation, they shouldn't be voting anyway.

I doubt this is a glitch..

This is no glitch. It is a repeat of the same sort of chicanery that permeates all democrat elections going back as far as the eye can see, IMHO Obola could not have been elected even the first time without such illegal practices. The second time for sure, especially when some precincts turned in over 100 percent voter response. The chevy trunks full of spare votes are also standing by if needed.

In your code you set up a counter: every time an R vote is cast, add 1 to it. When the counter hits 5, change the next R vote to D and write that to the database. Then reset counter to zero.

Problem is the code is also writing to the display/screen what it’s doing, that’s the bug that enabled this fraud to be detected.

I haven’t read the details on how those cheated are finally able to cast an R vote that ‘takes’, if they go to another machine, or a precinct captain has to somehow force the machine to accept the R vote. How they’re fixing it will tell us what is broken.

Except for that large contingent which regularly gets their hair and nails “did”, on the taxpayers’ dime.

Bwin the state then have an investigation. Bring the programmers up to the hill to testify.

For those who think Republicans will win the Senate ...

Hope you're wrong, but not surprised if you're right ...

There is no problem in Maryland unless of course you’re a Conservative . Maryland is racing to beat Chitown as the most corrupt state in the country .

They’ll have the problem found and fixed by the end of next week.

Been done before. Nothing happened.

100% agree

I saw a photo of some old Russian lady who walked something like 19 miles to cast her first ballot after the ussr fell. People here can’t even be bothered to get out of their Jammie’s. They need weeks to vote. It’s shameless.

“Bwin the state then have an investigation. Bring the programmers up to the hill to testify.”

With majorities in both Houses?

Who programmed these machines? RATs, of course, but specifically, what company and which employees?

ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PHYSICAL PAPER BALLOT IS AN INVITATION TO FRAUD.And people who will steal your money will steal your vote.

Even with paper documents there are the problems of "lost" or "misplaced" boxes of ballots being found after the RATs know how many they need to win. And individuals voting under multiple identities at multiple locations, and the absentee ballots of the dead, disabled or relocated being voted for them.

That’s not a fix. I can write code to show false results online just as easily as I can write code to change an R to a D.

We need to have paper ballots. If we want to mechanize this process, the paper ballots can be counted by machine, but they need to be preserved until the election is validated so that if necessary, they can be inspected by eye and recounted by hand. That won’t solve all election fraud problems, but it will remove the easy and invisible electronic fraud.

I’d like to see the code for these machines. It would be VERY SIMPLE to tell what’s going on by looking at the code.

Any half decent programmer could write code to make the fraudulent changes, and most could figure out what’s going on by reading it. This isn’t rocket science. Most high school students who can write code could do this.

And not just 0vomit, but many others who were needed to advance the statist agenda. Franken comes to mind. I think there were quite a few others.

At the risk of sounding all tinfoil-hatty, I can remember watching election returns in 2012 on a MSM station (forgot which one. I was in a bar with friends). I found the demeanor of the anchormen very odd and I thought something was off. When Romney took an early lead, they seemed very pleased and I thought, hmmm, maybe they are not really as leftwing as I thought they were. But something about it didn’t ring true. Then, when 0vomit moved ahead, they became giddy with pleasure. It was as if they knew in advance that Romney would take a few early states just to make it “look good.” Because really, if 0vomit got every state or got 100% (or 110%) in too many places, it would be a little too obvious what was going on.

Tinfoil hat off now. Back to your regularly scheduled posting.
