Voter reports problem with ballot machine [voted R, machine said D]
Sun Journal ^ | 10/23/10 | P. Christine Smith

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.

“They pushed it twice and the same thing happened,” Laughinghouse said. “That was four times in a row. ...

People might want to check their ballots closely after voting. It appears that the fix is in.

The fraud of Democrats knows no bounds.
This election will be the most blatant in history.
Electronic voting machines are MADE for fraud.
They should be outlawed, in favor of paper ballots only.
Just wait till they start using INTERNET VOTING ON-LINE, like some countries already have..................

“”said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races””

Voting machines have a single button to record all votes??? Do people even have to know how to read or just show up and push ONE BUTTON? Or is this just poorly written?

FIGHT VOTE FRAUD--PASS THE WORD W/ electronic voting machines, RECORD your vote with a fully-charged cell phone ready to record everything the machine does.

There are too many instances, in Illinois, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, of machines straight-ticket auto-voting Democrat....... that we should record our votes...... JUST IN CASE.

Record your vote on phones or cameras. Get that up on YouTube and send the link to Andrew Breitbart, Redstate, AceofSpades, MichelleMalkin, AnnCoulter, and other sites. Also send it to Rush, Fox News, Glenn Beck, Hannity, and Greta, Drudge, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, Tea Party Patriots, and so on.

Many states setup hotlines on elections day to report fraud. Some cases are decided by judges, on the bench election day for just that purpose.

Call your state's Secretary of State for info---this official is usually the one that oversees vote fraud.

That machine should have been quarantined and the FBI called. That should be SOP.

Democrats generally do what they accuse Republicans of doing.

The secret ballot may be a thing of the past, if we wish to weed out corruption.

The only alternative is to limit the scope of the powers of congress and government so there’s less reason to “BE BOUGHT.”

Lots of ballots allow you to vote a straight party ticket. I never even considered the possibility that they would switch it from one party to the other. This is horrible.

Robert Mueller was appointed by Bush II, in 2000 and remains the director of the FBI. He should step in. The Sec. State, AG, and US Attorney in Nevada are Dems (or in the case of US Atty, fired by Bush and reappointed by Obama). Only the local sheriff in the county is Republican . . .

Mueller needs to step in today. Anyone know him?
