LAS VEGAS -- Some voters in Boulder City said they are concerned about fraud at the electronic ballot box.
Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.
Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the screens are sensitive.
He said if voters choose English (instead of Spanish) for their language of choice, the ballot pops up with Angle selected.
"Especially in a community with elderly citizens (they have) difficulty in (casting their) ballot," Lomax said. "Team leaders said there were complaints (and the) race filled in."
Lomax said voters need to have faith in the system.
"This election, I think, more than ever," he said. "The two sides are very fractured and each side is suspicious and we're caught in the middle."

IOW—the machines are set to select Reid if the voter speaks Spanish? This is very weird, and I hope somebody makes enough noise to get officials from outside of Neveda to see what’s happening.
Another thing—I’m a “senior citizen”, and I certainly don’t have any trouble figuring out how to place my vote. I’m getting a bit tired of hearing that crappo about “senior citizens” not having sense enough to come in out of the rain........

Larry Lomax needs to be taken out back by an angry mob and beaten senseless. Then they should leave his bloody pulp of a body on the steps of the FBI office in Vegas.
It would probably be preferable to what he deserves.
What is all this hub-bub about? Reid bought this election fair and square.

The right to vote is among our most precious.
The new congress should make protecting it job one.
MANDATORY 20 YEAR JAIL TIME FOR ANY CONVICTION OF ELECTION FRAUD!!!!!!!!!
No, apparently he is saying that the touch screens are unreliable. They register two "clicks" sometimes when you touch them.
So if you hit the area where "English" is, it registers a click there, then the new screen appears and a second click registers on Angle, which is in the same location on the screen as the button for English.
He said if voters choose English (instead of Spanish) for their language of choice, the ballot pops up with Angle selected.
What a system. Why not let the ballot pop up unchecked for anyone and let the voter determine if they want to check a box or leave that race blank......
What if someone wishes to vote in Aramaic, Klingon, or Gibberish? Are they dis enfranchised?
Well—if they kept using these machines with a malfunction, doesn’t that negate all of the votes that were cast?
1) You are required to pass a test IN ENGLISH in order to become a citizen.
2) You must be a citizen to vote.
Therefore, you must be able to speak and understand English to vote.
No need for voting in spanish. None at all.
There there, esteemed senior citizen. Don’t go getting your afghan tied in a knot. Remember your weak heart. I know I know, you wanted to vote for Angle. But look, you clearly just voted for Harry Reid. You didn’t try to vote for Angle, its just your memory playing tricks on you, old dear. Now, lets cast one more vote for Reid, and then we’ll go play bridge! Deoesn’t that sound jolly?
It already started, just like I suspected. This is going to be widespread and WE better stay alert and expose these crooks.
Problem is, so much of this fraud will be hidden from public view, i.e., "adjustments" to the electronic selections. If that's enough to tip elections, we have ceased to be a free country.
Where is Jimma Carta? Shouldn’t he be here assuring free and fair elections instead of some third world country? If this stuff goes on in the USA, then we are nothing but a third world country.
Horsesh*t. Trust nothing; verify always.
“A Craven County voter says he had a near miss at the polls on Thursday when an electronic voting machine completed his straight-party ticket for the opposite of what he intended.
Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff.”
