This is actually easy to do
When you start your GPS (on some models) you have to ‘calibrate’ it by touching four spots in each corner so it can read your input more accurately
All they have to do is wait for the calibratiosn screen, and then touch four pre-planned DIFFERENT spots, and the screen will shift votes to obama
Why the heck does the GOP put up with this crap?
a few old ladies who don’t know how to use touch screens and graze the wrong field with their trailing finger before hitting the correct field.
The story does not say whether the error was corrected before the vote was entered.
This is sensationalism and undermines the democratic process to suggest there is a conspiracy of any sort with absolutely no proof whatsoever.
Phooey!
I wrote this off in the beginning as just a fluke, user created issue or maybe a couple of faulty touch screens... without data it is difficult to say without guessing wildly.
Problem is, it's becoming rampant and reported all over the place. If this were truly user error or machine problems, we would most likely be seeing just as many complaints from bozo voters about their vote being switched to Romney... and the noise would be 10X louder if that were the case. I've seen nothing, not one instance. I can see how the default setup of the machine may have something to do with the lop-sided error rate, but in the name of fairness the button positions should be randomized to prevent such a thing from happening in the first place.
I don't follow along with conspiracies all that often, but I'm starting to think that there just may be something going on here. After all of these years we cannot seem to produce an electronic method of voting that is reliable and secure. I find that simply appalling. Most of these things are programming 101, but we got our software from some Chinese high-school science project instead. We should be able to see the vote totals in real-time and recounts should be a thing of the past. It's getting VERY frustrating to me, it's NOT hard at all!
I can’t believe we have SEIU goons managing our voting machines.
......but in France you can ONLY vote on election day, you MUST show 1)Picture ID, 2)voter card and your 3) "voter's book," no exceptions.. ...There is NO SUCH THING as a "provisional ballot." The national vote is tabulated and reported 15 minutes after the polls close.
Which makes them horrid racists, as any decent Democrat can tell you.
