Voting Machines Change Dem Votes To Repub

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Elections

This is the part of the blog where I throw things…

Friday night, KFDM reported about people who had cast straight Democratic ticket ballots, but the touch-screen machines indicated they had voted a straight Republican ticket. [...]

Saturday, KFDM spoke to another voter who says it’s not just happening with straight ticket voting, he says it’s happening on individual races as well, Jerry Stopher told us when he voted for a Democrat, the Republican’s name was highlighted.

Stopher said, “There’s something in these machines, in this equipment, that’s showing Republican votes when you vote for Democrats, and I know Ms. Guidry’s a nice lady, and she’s working hard, but her theory that my fingernail was somehow over the Republican button is just unrealistic, my fingernail was not. The equipment is not working properly as far as I can tell.”

This kind of shit makes me furious because we’re completely powerless over this inferior technology. This kind of shit could literally swing close races, and that’s so wrong it’s almost criminal.

GRRRR!!!!

Outrageous.

Something tells me that if this were Repub votes being changed to Dems, Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, Malkin, etc. would be in a total dither and the MSM would be all over the story.

This is old news, and it still needs to be told. People need to get pissed off and demand better.
