CHICAGO — Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.

Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.

“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “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.”

The conservative website Illinois Review reported that “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.

Well it they put a large Dead space between the Republican and Democrat on screen buttons then they would be able to even claim this is caused by calibration errors.

All Electronic voting machines should be banned in this country.

It is because of stories lie this that I think it's imperative that Trump voters be available to and honest with exit pollsters.

Let's see what happens if exit polls show an overwhelming Trump victory while the machines count the opposite way.

How come ‘calibration errors’ never turn Democrat votes into ‘Pubbie votes?
Why don’t ‘calibration errors’ ever affect Democrats?

I think the real ‘calibration error’ is that the voter was not supposed to be able to see the vote switched to Democrat.
