A Chicago voting-machine tech is sounding the alarm, claiming he witnessed multiple error messages on the voting touch-screens this election – but only in cases where people voted for Mitt Romney.
Steve Pickrum said he worked for Chicago’s election system during the early voting and Election Day voting for the 2012 race.
As an equipment manager for the system, Pickrum said, he responded whenever there was a glitch with a voting machine.
“On early voting, when I did work on the floor when voters needed help using the equipment, I was able to see the preference of the voter, and every time that I saw [a] voter voted for Romney a ‘voter save failure’ message came up on the screen,’” he reported.
Then when he went on Election Day to cast his own vote, he picked Romney and experienced the same error message.
Pickrum said he worked at both the Matteson voting area as well as in Precinct 70, and although he discussed the anomalies with his boss, had not yet filed a formal report.
He said when he voted, he was told by a precinct worker to just go ahead and assume that his vote had been tabulated, despite the error message. But since he knew the operations of the machines, he asked the poll workers to check the vote report, and they found his vote had not been counted.
He insisted on completing his ballot on another machine, he told WND.
Curiously, he reported he never saw the error message when the voter was choosing Barack Obama.
Another poll worker, this one assigned at the University of Michigan, reported a list of irregularities, including that the precinct captain told her at one point, “You go sit down, you're bothering me,” when she was trying to observe the proceedings.

Every anecdote I heard is that turnout was UP BIG in Republican areas. On the ground, and on the net...
They believe the Right will not fight.....and they are correct.
One problem with it is that it would eliminate the secret ballot—one could cross-reference the times on the ballot and the sign-in sheet to find out how everyone voted. I’ve been wracking my brain to come up with a way around it. I’m wondering if a smartcard ID might provide the answer—those perform encryption entirely by themselves; the idea is that any machine into which they’re plugged NEVER sees the encryption key. You insert the card, type in a PIN, and you can use it to authenticate. I’m wondering if some sort of encrypted QR code also on the ballot could be used to eliminate the possibility of someone forging your vote.
Ultimately, though, we face several problems:
1. Someone attempting to vote in place of an unwilling voter (like us).
2. Someone attempting to vote in place of a willing (or uncaring) voter.
3. Someone destroying votes outright.
#1 and #3 are more tractable, but defeating #2 will be tough. I think it’s going to take a biometric scan when signing in to defeat that (iris scan, fingerprint scan, etc.) Many business laptops now support fingerprint scanners (including mine) to try to deal with the authentication issue. I’d like to see a state take a crack at it. Many people will howl at having their fingerprint scanned, but bear in mind—if you want a security clearance you have to get fingerprinted anyway. Clearly, according to how the Left behaves, voting requires a level of trust above the honor system.
If the Greeks could hold clean elections using nothing more than buckets of black and white stones there is no reason we can't get paper ballots right.
Be prepared to hear all about lots of “voters staying home”...now its..”they came and voted but the touch screen vote didn’t register”..”there’s no Republicans in that part of town anywhere”...NONSENSE!!!!....the Bipartisan Oligarchy would rather we all stew in that mess..than having us all bothered, and deciding to investigate, about all the voters voting who never voted...
Listening to descriptions of how “Democrats got out their ground game” with “superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go” by the commentators on Fox election night..made me realize..what they actually have done is track names that HAVE NOT VOTED IN MANY, MANY elections cycles....and vote them.
A well-funded project, county-by-county..to examine the names signed in at at the polls..and going out to find those individuals..you’ll find they were never physically at he polls..or they themselves never filled out the absentee ballot....or their names in the death registers.
The very LAST thing the Bipartisan Oligarchy want or need is any semblance of Constitutional Federal Gov’mt or a clean vote. As far as they’re concerned, this election worked out great for DC! Every advance of the left accrues more power to DC...and then the Oligarghy takes turns playing with the new batch of toys....of which ObamaCare is merely one of the latest games they get to enjoy.
Both those are up to We the People to cram it down their throats so hard in DC they will, someday, never do otherwise.
Absent a clean vote.....We the People are being taxed without representation..Ask George III how well that worked out!
I used touch screen voting, and it had a paper trail. Went through 3 stations to get my “vote” card assigned to me. The card # was assigned to my name, then I went to the computer, cast my vote, and to complete my vote, it was printed to paper for my review, kind of like a grocery store receipt.
This election is not over - not YET.
We do not have time on our side. This is our LAST chance. Don't give up. We must act now.
If the vote count is FRAUDULENT, FLAWED, and CAN'T BE TRUSTED and
if the Electors have been FRAUDULENTLY allocated based on FLAWED vote counts
then WE CANNOT ALLOW THE GOVERNORS TO SIGN
THEIR CERTIFICATES of ASCERTAINMENT on December 17th.
We can stop this if we ACT IMMEDIATELY.
*** CALL TO ARMS *** FIVE STATE CAPITOLS *** LESS THAN FIVE DAYS LEFT ***

We can make HISTORY by fighting for our rights - protecting the integrity of our sacred vote.
The Governor's combined action will withhold enough EC votes so that
neither candidate will have the minimum required to win the Presidency.
Therefore, the U. S. House of Representatives will elect the President
We can save our Republic and PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR VOTE.
Every single LEGAL vote (Especially the MILITARY votes) must be counted. "Chicago Style" thuggery must not be accepted, our leadership must not capitulate on this.
thank you for the heads up and I’m on it right now.
No doubt you will have someone state you are stupid etc about posting this but keep it up and not let anyone detract us.
The facts are the facts and if some cannot spend a little time looking at these facts then that’s their problem
A good article that supports my belief that it is pointless to vote again or be involved in politics. The fix is in, and nothing will ever be done about it.
