Georgias NAACP claims that votes intended for Democrat Stacey Abrams are being changed to Republican Brian KempMATTHEW ROZSA OCTOBER 24, 2018 1:42PM (UTC)
The NAACP's state conference electronically filed complaints with the Georgia Secretary of State's office (which is held by Kemp himself) claiming that votes cast for Abrams in Bartow and Dodge counties were initially registered to Kemp, according to USA Today. As of Tuesday, the Georgia NAACP also had plans to file additional complaints in Henry and Cobb counties, likewise claiming that votes intended for Abrams had initially been changed to Kemp. Eight voters in total are alleging that they noticed their votes had been changed.
Grimes said she went to a polling site in Bartow County Thursday and tried to select Abrams, but the machine marked the box for Kemp. Grimes said she tried several times to clear the selection before it allowed her to vote for Abrams.
I was not going to leave until everything was the way I wanted it, recalled Grimes, adding she also paid close attention to other selections. If I had not been focused, my vote would have went for him.
Grimes said she has since warned other voters. Ive been telling people when you vote to pay attention, she said.

(22,977 posts)Way back in 2002, in Houston, votes for Ron Kirk (Senate candidate) magically disappeared on straight D tickets. Got brief media attention then nothing. Also there were complaints when Jebthro Bush was running for Governor that votes were being switched. The media scoffed. 2004 Dumbya's re-election same old shit. Funky stuff in 2016, too.
Have people forgotten about Michael Connell, Rove's IT man, who conveniently died in a single engine plane crash after he was to come forward about touch screen rigging?
Russians ain't got shit on our own double dealings.
