GREENSBORO, N.C. –The Presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County.
On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location.
One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote it defaulted to President Obama.
“I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis.
Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert says the problem arises every election. It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.
“It’s not a conspiracy it’s just a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said.
After the third try, Coromalis says she was able to get her vote counted for Gov. Romney but was still annoyed.
“I should have just mailed it in,” Coromalis said.
Elections officials say the machines have been fixed as of Tuesday, and no problems have been reported since.
Early Voting ends November 3.

It’s been fixed, alright!
I have a hunch that lots & lots of voting machines will need to be “re-calibrated by poll workers”.
What a load of BS. What, they can’t calibrate before actual voters show-up?
I frankly am shocked she could tell
This just raises the hair on my neck! Lies, Lies, Lies!!!
You re-calibrate the machines BEFORE elections and make sure they work properly.
How much are we to tolerate? It never ends!!!
we must be vigilent on election day..
double check
Are these people from palm beach county Florida?
America’s wang is moving north.
Recalibrate? B.S.
The penalty for vote tampering must be death. That is quick death no later than 60 days after the election. There is no greater crime than vote tampering. There must be no plea bargin. There must be quick and widely publicized death. j
We do!
Yeah, then you can give the cheating rat bastards a better idea of how many votes they're going to need to gin up later.
There was a guy who called into a local (Columbus Ohio) talk radio show yesterday. He said when he was at the early voting place here, there were 15 bus loads of college aged kids that showed up wearing blue Obama-Biden T-shirts on. He also said the poll workers appeared to be rats as well.
My other half is friends with a delegate from somewhere. She told her about it, and supposedly it will get "looked into".
Test the machines by casting a couple of thousand votes for Romney...just to be sure they're working!
OK, ‘blame it on the machines’. How convenient.
Is it just here in NE blue states (and Delaware) that you can count on almost all board of elections directors to be Democrats?
Hmmm... The errors always tend to favor Obama or Democrats...
>>> “I should have just mailed it in,” Coromalis said.
Ah, no, lady.
If you just mail it in and would never have found out about the switcherooooo ...
Fixed now so the machines show the correct vote but tally which one?
Recalibrate my @#$! The machines should have been impounded and an official investigation begun by an impartial source (if one can be found).
