I would like to know Drudge's source(s).

Perhaps they should "test" the machines prior to election day to make sure they work properly, SHEESH.

Voter Advisory From Randy Evans, General Counsel of the Georgia Republican Party
We have received preliminary reports from voters across the state who have indicated that when placing their vote, and touching the screen for a Republican candidate, the box is incorrectly checked for the Democrat candidate. Another similar situation is occurring when the review screen comes up and previously marked Republican votes are showing as Democrat votes.
Anyone experiencing this problem should immediately report it to the poll officials at their polling place and should call the Legal Task Force Hotline at the Republican Party Headquarters, at 866-251-4966.
When calling the Hotline, callers should ask for Vernadette Broyles, Chief Deputy Legal Counsel

They reported the same thing in Dallas during early voting. Difference was that RAT votes were showing up as Republican.

Great. Now they will be counting smudges on the screen instead of chads.

Paper ballots with onsite counts by equal representation from both parties.
It doesn't matter that the results would be delayed a few hours, it's the only way to keep things halfway honest.

TOUCH SCREEN CONFUSION This is the VERY reason the democRATs are pushing for touch-screen voting under the guise of election reform. No paper trail or no mechanical indication/tally of vote (or their "intent") WHATSOEVER! Makes their job much easier.
To: TheConservator
Who's bright idea was it that there should be no paper record of the vote?
To: TheConservator
Doesn't have to be fraud; rather, it could be a problem matching the touch screen inputs to the proper candidate -- it'd be a county-by-county sort problem. The old "off-by-one" problem could show up as this.
More than anything else, it suggests that there was inadequate testing of the electronic ballot assignments.

Dems are laying the groundwork for their post election lawsuits. RAT lawyers are in full salivation mode.

Touch screens are notoriously inaccurate. I think they are a mistake.
If the person using it accidentally touches another part of the screen at the same time the are selecting, it will misread. Or if they set something on it.
The Texas computers use a dial device to select an entry and an enter button to mark it. It seems much more reliable than a touch screen.
To: TheConservator
Well ultimately the blame goes to those dolts who decided to go with computer voting. Both parties made the mistake, Dems in FL & GA, GOP in Texas.
If this is widespread in GA, FL, & TX, it could be the Dem strategy. The few early screwups against the Dems in TX & FL may have been intentionally done in Dem precincts to provide cover for their typical "both sides are doing it" argument to cover massive fraud in swing states such as GA.
I heard the Dallas County election commissioner speak of the TX problems on the radio yesterday. When asked if it was happening primarily in precincts with Democrat election judges, he said the instances were scattered throughout Dallas County, but would not directly answer the question. In Dallas, the election judge for each precinct is assigned by the party that won the precinct in the last election.
But still too early to tell if this is fraud, random error, or simply new system glitches.

While I would put nothing past the RATS when it comes to vote fraud, this really sounds like a result of sloppy set up and testing of the machines. Touch panels (think your Palm Pilot) normally have to be calibrated when booted for the first time so they "know" where the user's finger (or in the case of a PDA the stylus) is making contact with the screen. The point of touch is then made to line up with the application display you see on the screen. If the software doesn't know where the center of the screen is it may very well insert a "drift" between where you touch and what part of the application (vote checkbox in this case) records the input.
Could be deliberate but I lean towards bad set up, likely by people that have no idea what they're doing with the technology. If the workers are able to "address the problem as it occurs" this would lead me to believe they're actually resetting the screen calibration. Just a guess.

There are so many ways to commit election fraud with a computer, it makes hanging chads look like slackers.

Insider Advantage report from 11:55 a.m.:
Signs have been posted in heavily Democratic South DeKalb County, reading: Support Cynthia McKinney. Dont Vote!
Heavy turnout with few voter machine glitches reported across much of South Georgia. Suburban Atlanta also reporting long voter lines.

When the paper trail is gone who's to say how anybody voted?
To: TheConservator
As a professional systems developer, I am astonished and appalled at 'computer voting'. There is no substitute for hard copies of critical data - and I'd say that a cast vote is about as critical a datum as a free nation can have.
Computer voting is an invitation to fraud. There is no substitute that is sufficient to replace a paper ballot.
