GOP candidate in Cook County, IL discovers voting machine casts his vote for the Democrat
American Thinker ^ | 10/21/2014 | Thomas Lifson

The Democrat mantra that voting fraud is rare takes another blow today with the stunning story of a GOP candidate unable to vote for himself in Cook County Illinois. The Illinois Political Review reports:

Admitting his confidence in Cook County ballot integrity is shaken, State Representative Candidate Jim Moynihan (R-56), was shocked today when he tried to cast a vote for himself and the voting machine cast it for his opponent instead.

“While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” said Moynihan. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat."

While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race. It is unknown if the machine in question (#008958) has been removed from service or is still in operation.

Well, they don’t call it Crook County for no reason.

I much prefer paper ballots that can be counted & recounted & challenged.

Remember Florida, 2000 with the hanging chads, dimpled chads, etc.? They happen only when a stack of ballots are marked at once. Remember that a "Voteomatic" and stacks of ballots were found to be in the car trunk of a RAT operative? Remember in Washington and Minnesota when boxes of "misplaced" paper ballots were "found" after the polls had closed and the RATs had time to learn how many votes they needed? The point is that without strict controls the RATs are always going to cheat. And cheating back at them is not an option, or we become them.

PAper ballots and strict honest pollwatching. But the Republican establishment just won’t fight for some reason.

I don’t suspect voter fraud won Obama in 2012, I’m convinced of it. Dems taking busloads of Somalis in Ohio and assisting them to vote is a picture I can’t get out of my head.

Actually, they cannot fight voter fraud.

or where more than 100% of registered voters “vote”,

**********

That situation should immediately call into question the
voting and require a revote.

“The republican leadership is in bed with it’s fellow fascist/socialists.”

Really... What is the difference. A one party system or a two party system with one party being totally subservient? Just look at faces of the RNC leadership... Wouldn’t let them near my kids...my kids might hurt them.

While it is easy to believe the machines are bent, if the republican politician were of the calibre of McConnell or Boehner, it would be just as easy to believe they actually voted for the dem, either through intent or innate stupidity.

In a shocking illustration of the progress against the corruption of Cook County, it was discovered that the voter in this case was ALIVE!

[ Easily, machines could be programed to turn every 3rd R vote to a D vote. Then, 10 minutes after poll closing time, that program erases itself. How would anyone know? More importantly, no one in the election process seems to care. RNC in full denial mode, as attested to their lack of concern when Philadelphia’s 2012 election count showed NO votes for Romney in ALL 19 precincts. RNC couldn’t be bothered to have ONE R voter stand up and say (s)he wasn’t counted..
We (Americans) are so screwed. ]

I suspect the RINOS and the DEMS have a backroom “Power Sharing Conspiracy” going on and cover for each other...

Another reason for the GOP to become the new Whigs and the New Party the “USIP or Tea Party” should have as a Irrevocable Plank in the party be “absolute voting integrity”. be it Voter ID, or Manual Ballot with Fingerprint etc...

Updated and modernized, but democrats have done this since the beginning of their party.

Fraud, bribery, intimidation or even murder... whatever it takes. That is the history of the Democrat party.
