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.

These folks have been disenfranchising voters for generations...
WEll certainly since JFK beat Nixon...the votes were dumped in the Chicago River..
Communists at work again, and again, and again. Hell, half the Country is Communists. What a life.
See post 18 for a typical reason.
Because it wouldn’t be theft if it were changing McCain votes to Obama, just retributive justice.
By the way, on elelction day I am wearing RED!! So there and that’s the truth!
Thanx
that should be election...
How about this. All voter rolls across the country are purged. Everypne has to reregister to vote. No political parties. Everyone is an independent. How you vote is your business. The candidates can call themselves anything they like, rep, dem, lib, conservative, socialist, whatever.
In the end, it comes down to a purple finger. Fingers get counted, one with the most wins.
“Early voting seems to me to set up a perfect opportunity for vote tampering.”
You just answered your own question.
OldGuard1 - Were you in the 3rd Infantry? If so, what years, and where were you stationed?
That’s the way we do it in Nebraska. We only trust the people with #2 pencils, especially in certain parts of Douglas County.
PICK PAPER!
Please get this information out to anyone you know who is McPalin supporter who will vote on a diebold machine.
Yes they do act screwy sometimes. I have no idea if this intentional or an accident and it really doesn’t matter at this point.
1)Verify your votes against a sample ballot or palm card. If a vote is wrong, go back and attempt to correct it.
2)If the correction does not take, call an official to help you. The best course would be to move you to a different machine. But what ever you do, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO HIT THE VOTE BUTTON AT THE TOP. Swat their hand if you have to...granny fashion.
3)Take the numbers of your local Victory offices and a non emergency number for the police with you to your polling place. If an official refuses to help or tries to hurry you, call your Victory office. They can get attorneys from the party dispatched to you. If you feel threatened in any way or are warned that you will be ejected from the polling place, CALL THE POLICE.
This is serious folks. Here in FL we are at war and we are winning. But all of the soldiers need to keep their eyes and ears open and use all of the weapons we can legally brandish.
Just today we had reports at the Victory office of people voting twice at one early voting site and filmed proof of a mail clerk edging an absentee ballot to the trash can from the counter. Those things are being handled. But damn just damn...you cannot even take your eyes off of them for a second.
How about taking a snap/movie of the screen with your cell phone and posting it message boards as well as on YouTube? Bound to raise some Hell that way.
Fine. Just stack them up and push a pin throught the Obama hole. It will nullify any McCain votes.
