Right, calibration error. Because voting machines are like wheel balancing machines and need to be calibrated. A vote for “A” might not register as “A” with the machine with so many possible interpretations of “A.” A very fine tuning process is necessary to insure that when “A” is entered the readout will be “A.”
Ooops! 500 phone calls logged. Time to take my iPhone in for screen calibration.
Touch screen problem. They skipped the procedure to calibrate it, and should be removed from their positions.
Exactly!
Better odds at a slot machine.
Why not this, If there is reason to believe fraud is taking place ALL votes from this state will be null and void! This may get those responsible to do something to fix the problem in that state
If these are touch screen machines, I think the area of the 'button' image sometimes doesn't match the touch sensitive area. WHY they don't match is another question. I had this happen to me a while back. They moved me to another machine, but I don't know if they took it out of service.
While my problem was going on, some moron poll worker helping a woman yelled out to the supervisor, "This lady wants to vote for xxxxxx but the machine records it for the other guy." She blabbed this woman's vote to everyone in the place! You could hear several gasps when it happened.
Funny thing was that I was voting for an R and got a D, while the other woman was voting for a 'D' and got an 'R.'
Well, that would depend upon the meaning of “A,” of course.
