I don't think the problem in GA had anything to do with the monitors touch calibration being off....... listening to Boortz's show this morning, a lady called in who said when she voted and the "review screen" came up at the end she read thru the review and noticed that one of the votes was wrong. She swore that she voted Rep, but the review was showing a Dem vote. Now here is the biggy..... at that point you are supposed to be able to change the vote to reflect the correct choice before final submission. But she said that touching the screen to make the change would not work. She called over a precint worker to help her make the correction. The worker could not get it to make a change either and in the process of hitting on the screen the worker touched the "cast vote" button and then there was no turning back. Worker appologised and said at this point there is no way to retrive the vote and make a correction and the vote would have to stand. The voter was livid and had been calling all over the state complaining.

Umm -- had that been me I'd be sitting in jail now and that worker would be in an ambulance. Stealing someone's vote is a serious affront.
