Last week a voting machine in Cook County, Illinois switched votes for Republicans to votes for Democrats. Election officials blamed a "calibration error" for the change. Now, the same thing is happening in Maryland and again officials are citing a "calibration error." More from Watchdog.org:
Voting machines that switch Republican votes to Democrats are being reported in Maryland.
“When I first selected my candidate on the electronic machine, it would not put the ‘x’ on the candidate I chose — a Republican — but it would put the ‘x’ on the Democrat candidate above it,” Donna Hamilton said.
“This happened multiple times with multiple selections. Every time my choice flipped from Republican to Democrat. Sometimes it required four or five tries to get the ‘x’ to stay on my real selection,” the Frederick, Md., resident said last week.
Queen Anne County Sheriff Gary Hofmann said he encountered the problem, too, personally.
“This is happening here as well. It occurred on two candidates on my machine. I am glad I checked. Many voters have reported this here as well,” Hofmann, a Republican, wrote in an email Sunday evening.
"Calibration errors," which coincidentally don't switch votes cast for Democrats to votes for Republicans, rather the other way around, seem to be happening quite frequently. As I said last week, these machine errors were visible, what about the changes these machines are making to votes cast for Republicans that aren't visible? How many registered voters have had their votes and participation in the process stolen as a result of "faulty" machines?
Meanwhile, be sure to check out the newly released report about the alarming number of non-citizens voting in, and swaying, U.S. elections.
What does it matter what the screen says or what the internal tabulation actually is when a Soros company downloads and counts the votes?
We must demand paper ballot back up to the machines. We all know how a hacker can easily change a vote in a machine. This is madness.It threatens our democracy. Why dont republican demand it!!! Where are they? They are busy paying black democrats to defeat a Tea Party winner in the Mississippi runoff primary— that is where they are.
If a paper copy was produced, that could be scanned by another machine to tally up the votes, and compared to what the voting machine tabulates, fraud could be proven. Do it in small precincts, ask voters to come back the next day with their receipts to test the voting totals before they get certified.
The unintended consequences would be that instead of someone buying your vote, you have a paper copy to sell to the RAT community organizers.
The voting machine should not also be the tabulating machine.
It should print out a ballot that gets turned in and counted.
But I still prefer old-fashioned paper ballots.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Anyone who believes that the Marxists in power would run a fair election is delusional. They got onto power on the crook and they will try to stay in power no matter what it takes, even murder. History is the teacher. Mountains of dead bodies are the proof. ie: China, USSR, etc.
Not if it printed black ovals for the candidate you selected, to be read by a common, say, SAT test reader. Even better, you could fill in a ballot by blacking in the ovals, scan it through the voting machine, get your printed receipt, compare it. Would save time, spinning the wheel and clicking can take 10 minutes or more.
In 2011, there was a guy on FOX who brought one of those machines in to show how they can be manipulated. Back then, some people said they wanted their own paper receipt on how they voted. This guy showed that you could push a vote for the GOP, it would register democrat, but your receipt could say you voted GOP.
This is why in 2000, all the brouhaha over switching voting methods to electronic. The dems knew they could cheat in a big way, so they whined and moaned about the dangling and hanging chads. because of that, we had to have new voting methods.
This why I am not super optimistic about the current elections.
The only vote that counts is the one who does the counting.
exactly! The visible ones might actually be the "errors."
Add to this the ability of poll workers to clear and reuse the activation card as many times as they want for people who didn't come to vote (deceased, moved, aged) and there could be some really skewed vote totals. There are many precincts where there are no Republican poll watchers.
I posted this the other day. I think it might be an effective tactic:
There is a private-sector way to address this. Get the name of the company manufacturing the machines. Sue them for fraud. Get the suit in the press. I guarantee the company itself will figure out right quick who is messing with their stuff, and file some suits of their own.
This is how they’ve appeared to win the last 2 elections : THEY CHEAT , and then challenge and intimidate anyone to try and prove anything
It’s time to PROVE IT
Katherine Englebrecht of True The Vote was on FNC the other night and she was seething under her calm demeanor. Not a good sign.
I think she’d be perfect to take Ted Cruz’ seat once we put him in the WH.
The voting machines (the vote counters) determine outcomes whenever they are ready, willing, and able. The whole election process and election night coverage circus has been a long drawn-out fake production since forever. The slope to the abyss steepened to near vertical in 2000.
The power players operate a “heads I win tails you lose” system of tabulation. Two sides, one con er coin. Two parties, one cake.
“Calibration Error” meaning:
Calibration was set so that if you touch anywhere on the screen it will automatically log the vote for a Democrat.
And the error was the fact that someone noticed and said anything!
In two years there may not BE anymore ELECTIONS!....
After the obvious outright stealing of the 2014 midterms..
The democrats will know and are assured most all don’t really care...
AND make the BIG move... all thats really needed is pressure in obvious “certain” places..
THEN federal officials can be APPOINTED.. then in the states and even locally..
ANY remote revolt can be used to fine tune Martial Law..
AND a major domestic revolt although remotely possible.. would be to fine tune the military..
AND IT’S BEEN DONE BEFORE..many many times.. in a hundred places..
Those ignorant of history are DOOMED to repeat it..
The writing is “ON THE WALL”... don’t turn yer head!..
READ IT!..prepare.........
If you check, you will learn that it is happening in the other 48 also. I no longer have any confidence in the electoral process.
