How does one “miscalibrate” a voting machine?

Think touch screen. Here's one way you could do it.

Each candidate has a section of the screen that is calibrated to be a certain size, and to add to that candidates count when touched. If you were to shrink the size of the sensing area for one candidate, leaving the box that is drawn the same size while making the screen surrounding that area count for the other candidate, you have miscalibrated the machine. If someone touches near the edge of their preferred candidates box it instead adds to the other candidates totals.

Republican congressmen elected him, the same can vote him out. It doesn’t happen because the majority of GOP congressmen are RINOs.

A major component of “The Swamp”.

It is up to the individual districts to trash these guys/gals and put in conservative representation.

Will Sessions recuse himself?

Oh, undoubtedly. He’s used voting machines, you see, so it wouldn’t be fair of him to involve himself in any case that included them.

My County in Virginia has switched back to paper as well. Of course, the paper ballot is still scanned in to a machine...

I’m not sure if the whole Commonwealth of VA has gone back to paper ballots or not.

Here’s a video of how a voting machine can be messed with to change the outcome, “Hacking Democracy”.

Basic fact: when the Democrats show up in force, they often win. It’s complacency or outright disgust with the D candidate that is their enemy more than the Republican party. Hillary LOST more than Donald Trump WON, in my opinion, lots of Democrats stayed home or voted independent, this time the Democrat had charisma, a good story and rand a good campaign

Every loss is not a freakin’ conspiracy or stolen election, sometimes the other side just gets out there and does a better job of GOTV, or sometimes our candidate just isn’t as good at reaching the voters.

Who is in charge of election integrity in Pennsylvania?

ACTING SECRETARY OF THE COMMONWEALTH ROBERT TORRES

Robert Torres was designated to serve as Acting Secretary on October 11, 2017. Most recently, he served as the Department's Executive Deputy Secretary.

Mr. Torres was also appointed by Governor Ed Rendell to serve as Deputy Secretary for Administration at the Pennsylvania Department of Health. In this role, he was responsible for contract administration, information technology, health research, statistics and vital records, human resources and management of the department's more than $900 million budget. He was also assigned to manage and help improve the delivery of health, support and outreach services to families and children funded through the federal Maternal and Child Health programs.

Mr. Torres is an attorney who holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Pace University and a law degree from Widener University School of Law. He serves on the board of directors of the United Way of the Capital Region and the Harrisburg Latino Hispanic American Community Center.

Prisoner transport out here is handled exclusively by the Sheriff’s department. So are warrants too - what with sheriff sales and the tax collection auctions also going through them.

We do have a Constable though. Really nice guy, without much to do. He works all of the election depots. With volunteers, but not as many as you’d think.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Pure evil.
The vote is the most basic right Americans have.
To have a vote switched around and not counted is incredibly wicked.
A act of high treason.

Governor: Pennsylvania’s Top Election Official Has Resigned
Gov. Tom Wolf says Pennsylvania’s top election official, Secretary of State Pedro Cortes, has resigned.
Oct. 11, 2017, at 5:14 p.m

By MARC LEVY, Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s chief election official has resigned, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s office said Wednesday, offering no explanation for the move that surprised top state officials.

Wolf’s administration said Secretary of State Pedro Cortes submitted his resignation but gave no other information in a brief statement. An administration spokesman said he had no additional details about Cortes’ departure.

Wolf nominated Cortes, 51, as his first secretary of state when he took office in 2015. At the time, Cortes, a lawyer, already had the distinction of having held the job longer than anyone else after serving as secretary of state for more than seven years under former Gov. Ed Rendell, also a Democrat.

A telephone message left at Cortes’ Harrisburg home seeking comment was not immediately returned Wednesday. Top state lawmakers and Democratic Party officials said they had no idea Cortes was going to resign and did not know why.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s chief election official has resigned, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s office said Wednesday, offering no explanation for the move that surprised top state officials.

Wolf’s administration said Secretary of State Pedro Cortes submitted his resignation but gave no other information in a brief statement. An administration spokesman said he had no additional details about Cortes’ departure.

The move came barely two weeks after Cortes’ agency had heard from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that Russian hackers unsuccessfully tried to access election systems in the state before last year’s presidential election. Cortes had said he thought the hackers had hoped to alter voter registration records to sow confusion and frustration in the election.

That came on top of complaints by a Philadelphia elections official that people who are in the U.S. legally, but who are not citizens, were mistakenly allowed to register to vote, including some who had voted.

Cortes acknowledged last year that someone who is not a citizen “may inadvertently register” to vote while getting or updating a driver’s license. The department said at the time it was working to correct the problem. The department has declined to say how many non-citizens are registered to vote.

Aren’t these machines owned by a company affiliated with Soros’ enterprises?

[Wuli]

Democrats falsifying the votes for themselves, so what’s new? They gave JFK the Illinois electoral votes with uncounted ballots thrown in the Chicago River. Nixon could have but chose not to make a legal case of it, telling his staff that doing so would tear the nation apart. Many years later the Democrats rewarded him with Watergate. You’d think the RINOs would have learned by now but the haven’t.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Machines scan our ballots as well. People should take this one step further by having the ballots put in a box instead like the days of old.

This is my district, so I’m following this closely. Hope the Republiicans do everything possible to make sure the final tally is accurate. I saw no constable at my polling place. I have seen a constable at other elections, it’s always the same guy, didn’t see him this time. I’ve always found the touch screen process confusing when it asks you to Review, then Confirm, then Vote. You have to be careful and read each screen.

Ask George $oros....doesn’t his company provide these machines/software?

What is your GOP precinct chair saying/doing about this? Make sure there are plenty of squeaky wheels bugging the heck out of him/her, on this.

I remember hearing about “vote flipping” during early voting in the 2016 presidential election.

People in Texas and other states complained that when they cast a vote for Trump and other Republicans down line, their Trump vote flipped to Clinton.

The issue was voting machines made in England; the company that manufactured these machines is owned by Soros, and the machines were used in sixteen states.

I heard of similar issues in 2012 when Romney votes were switched to Obama.

.
This is just standard election proceedure when Dems are in control.

Why do you think they resisted Trump’s investigation?

Vote fraud always rules in special elections anyway. Labor unions always bus the fraudsters to wherever they are needed.

This is exactly how we lost in the Alabama senate election.

Trump should dispatch the Marine Corps to police every special election, under his national emergency EO.

Strategy seems to be to keep Lamb from being seated by tying this up in court until the midterms roll around.

Very Allinsky of the GOP. I’m pleasantly surprised.
