The more I think about it with my vote I'm sure

[INdemo]

I pushed the correct button on the right of "Democrat" to vote straight Democratic ticket but when I pushed the "Next Page" button I saw an X beside all Republican candidates. So I called the poll worker over (and I think she was a Democrat) I told her about the issue. She took the screen back to page one and I re-checked Democrat. After I voted for school board etc I reviewed my vote and then cast my vote pushing the red button for cast vote.
So why did I post this ..well in this small County in Indiana even these voting machine can flip votes and the only Major candidates for me to vote for was Sen. Donnelly and for the House Mel Hall.
and to remind everyone to check and double check your vote That's all

Except to say my first election to vote in was 1968 for Humphrey and this was the most important vote of my lifetime...

1. We're seeing the same problem in Texas

People are seeing that selecting the straight Dem option ends up with a checkmark by Ted Cruz name. So check and dlouble-check your selections before pressing the final "Vote" button.

4. Absolutely...double check

I grew up in the 50's and 60's believing this was the greatest country on earth and now I'm thinking this only happens in a 3rd World Countries ..but not any more.. Free and fair elections appear to be a thing of the past.

That Ted Cruz deal is outright vote stealing and its obvious ..
so how many votes were cast with this error though??

10. Manual recount of all ballots where the voter selected Dem ticket.

That should take place right away.

12. To do that we need paper ballots everywhere...

My state has mail-in voting. All ballots are paper.

There should always be an audit trail in voting.

14. In every state where the Democrats prevail with the governorships,

the first order of business is to demand paper ballots.

3. So the straight party shortcut lets the machine vote for you.

The way republicans intended.

6. Right?

Everyone should just bite the bullet and physically vote for each individually.

7. help america vote act indeed

Ditch machines.
Use paper.
Count by hand, around a table while everybody watches.

9. It seems to only change the Cruz vote

I didn't use the straight Dem. I voted for each slot individually. I had some kind of intuition that the straight Dem vote would be thrown out or problematic in some way.

11. Perhaps the system is programmed

to pick others as well. Since 2000 it seems that Democrats need a 12-15 percent margin to break even.

13. They don't need to change every vote...

In fact that would raise protests, if someone won by 100%.

Typically, they only need to flip a few percentage points to steal an election almost anywhere in the country.

We do indeed need a blue wave across our country.

5. I was so glad to see the demise of similar machines in Virginia

We now use a piece of paper and feed it into a scanner. If it is rejected we know right away. I would like to get a receipt showing how it was read, but this is not allowed.

8. same here

I'd still rather have people counting the votes instead of a scanner.
