Has anyone here head of the electronic voting machines in your area flipping repub votes to dem?

[Hubert Flottz]

Here, the only ones I know of flipping votes, flipped democratic votes to republican. Mostly back when we had a republican SOS.

1. Yeah, it's funny how that works, isn't it?

2. Funny they never go our way.

[msongs]

3. even funnier is the appalling lack of response from dems to fix the problem eh? nt

[Hubert Flottz]

5. Funny, but we shouldn't be laughing.

Can the DoJ really be as inept as they seem, in the on going cases of election tampering?

The American people can't afford to allow a repeat of the 2000 GOP coup and the election theft in 2004 by Bush and Ken Blackwell.

4. How would we know? nt

6. Because at first ever sighting, there would have been shouting from the highest rooftops,

Faux news would have organized marches in Washington, and the tea party assholes in congress would have started a federally funded website and hotline for the repugs to report the offense.

7. Voters here have reported seeing it happen.

[Honeycombe8]

8. Oh...so it happens right there in front of you? I thought it happened AFTER you lodged your vote....

and the vote was recorded differently than as seen.

I usually check my vote after I make it. But I can't swear I've forgotten to at some point.

9. My biggest problem was my fat fingers

First page said I could have made things bigger. I should have. My fat fingers kept hitting Republicans when I meant to hit Democrats.

At first all the BBV nonsense came to me and I questioned myself, then I went back to how I work on my wife's iPad and realized what I was doing.

10. While I have no doubt hacks have happened, and had disastrous results

The one scenario I don't quite subscribe to is that a programmer who has enough smarts to hack an e-vote machine would flap a red flag in the voter's face while doing so. I have done some Windows programming involving both databases and user-interfaces. It would be trivial to change a vote for Dave into one for Larry without also displaying the trickery on the screen. There is simply no good reason to call attention to your crime when it's easy as pie to avoid it.

I'm more prone to believe that data can be altered in a "man in the middle" attack on its way to the central tabulator machine than by messing with the GUI.

11. Christ. The closer we get to election date, the more bizarre threads about voting machines.

First, how do you 'know' that Republican votes were changed to Democratic votes?

Secondly, why didn't you do anything about it?

Thirdly, it's weird that you say you saw it right in front of your eyes.

12. I've been telling all my friends and co-workers

to make sure they look over their screens carefully before committing their votes. I also let my co-workers know about what's going on in Texas about the straight ticket issue, so they should vote individually for each candidate.

I'm making sure everyone within hearing distance of me knows about these issues and to watch out for them. I'm in MD, where it's pretty much a sure thing for President Obama but I have friends in VA, so I want to make sure they're doing it right.

[sharkman25]

13. Not in my area, but yes in others.

[deaniac21]

14. No but I voted early on a diebold

and it turned me into a newt.

[randome]

15. I thought there was something 'newty' about you.

[fascisthunter]

16. That's Possible

[Ya Basta]

17. Glad we're still using paper ballots

19. There was a lead story on electronic voting on Yahoo, and the top-rated comments by far

advocated the use of paper ballots only. We're talking hundreds of thumbs up to only tens of thumbs down. It was a heartwarming thing to see.
