I would think that one of the very first things an election worker would do when setting up a touch-screen voting machine is to run an alignment check against the ballot locations. I’m sure this capability is built in to the machines.
Even if the on-site election workers don’t have the capability to *change* the calibration, I’m certain they have the ability to *check* the calibration.
Therefore I’m astonished that that degree of mis-calibration could even be present in the machine when the first real voter stepped up to it.
...UNLESS it was deliberate, that is.
The ones we had when I was an election clerk self calibrated by using screen position finger input responses. I think they’re cheating.
