Seems like we have this problem every election.

He told the news station that officials are now working to recalibrate the machines and also noted that it is typical for recalibrations as much as three times on Election Day.
Consider: I usually reply to posts using my smartphone. The touch-screen keypad is maybe 1"x2" and that contains the whole alphabet plus additional keys. Quite often I end up with a few letters below the ones I intend. The problem is that one sights with their fingernail but it is the meat of the fingertip that makes contact. The entire area of the fingertip spans 2, maybe 3 letters and I have to be very precise with my taps.
Now let's consider a few factors. What is the average age of those experiencing problems? Are touch screens part of their daily life or is this a rare occurrence? How about their manicure. Are we talking closely trimmed nails or 1" acrylics? How big are the sensing spots and how close together? Anything less than 1/4" square without non-sensing space between choices is asking for trouble.
Mark sense ballots with ink on paper is the ONLY way to go. Touch screen voting machines should be restricted to ADA access with a layout that keeps choices well separated.
And, FTR, I used my laptop to type this ... no way would I attempt this much text with the tiny smartphone keyboard.
The election officials are lying. Nothing to do with ‘calibration’ would cause it to switch votes.
It would be interesting to request a calibration procedure from this esteemed election official. No technician in a group where uniformity and quality control is important, such as a voting machine maintenance group, would calibrate a piece of equipment without a procedure.

We use machines and it gives you the opportunity to revue before you hit the vote button. Once cast that’s it! There is no going back in to see if anything was changed. For a person to know that they would have to see it during the revue and you still have the opportunity to correct it.
Lemme guess...the changes cannot be classified as “random”.
It could very well be a calibration issue.
I remember the old “Palm Pilots” and how their touch-screens had to be calibrated.
I suppose the voting machines don’t have any better technology than the Palm Pilot.
Tell your son the next time this or something like this happens to CALL THE SHERIFF AND THE STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS and stay until they get there. Then he needs to be in/on or file a complaint.
ABOVE ALL HE NEEDS TO STAY !!!
That’s why I’m happy Oklahoma.a has you mark a paper ballet, then put ok in the machine. I physical copy of the vote for recount.
Mr. Waterboard needs to have a little chat with the Richland County, S.C. election officials.
I saw someone say here that a large number of voting machines are made by a company owned by Soros! The “errors” always go toward the Dem side as a default malfunction. How interesting.
“”This comes on top of reports of voting problems in both Arizona as reported by USA Today””
We have more than ONE Arizona?
It didn’t get a virus IT CAME PROGRAMMED WITH IT FROM THE FACTORY!!!
It’s really simple. In the AUTOEXEC.BAT the 1st Boot at the pick up location to make sure it Boots up and the Canidates are correct and Counts are Zero.
Then as the machine is shut down there is a SHUTDOWN.BAT file that Deletes the 1st AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE and takes a file that is ready and waiting and that file is RENAMED from HOLD.ME to AUTOEXEC.BAT and then the Machine shuts off.
The newly Renamed AUTOEXEC.BAT runs at the next Boot that happens and in that New AUTOEXEC.BAT File Runs and puts the Vote Count at xxxxxx Votes for the commiedemonratscumbag Canidate before Anyone has actually Cast a Real Vote.
Most people are not going to be looking for something like that to happen and it sails right on through. And WHO CATCHES ON TO IT? Nobody...
Any 5 year old can do this. So can the professional Voter Fraudster.
It shouldn’t be that hard to program a machine to enter the selection pushed without error.
It’s not a malfunction and the machines should not need *recalibration*.
It has to have been built in.
I am so glad that NYS uses paper ballots, although I really do wish for the old style ones with the levers.
it’s as old as DOS...
In MDwe’ve been back to paper only for a few cycles now. Shockingly. I hated the computer touchscreens. Now we fill in circles whereas long ago we filled in arrows with a certain pen type. But both are paper that gets inserted into a tab machine at the end.
Nailed it. I early vote always using paper ballots. You can recount paper, you can’t recount ticks on a computer screen owned by POS Soros.
I don’t know. No reason why it cannot be done with a .INI File.
no no no... i meant you’re right, old tricks and it’s not that hard to do
