Republican National Committee alleges voting machine troubles in Nevada, other swing states

[RandySF]

The Republican National Committee sent letters to election officials in Nevada and three other swing states on Thursday alleging “a significant number of cases” where voting machines cast ballots for President Barack Obama when the vote was intended for his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

The RNC did not provide documented proof of its allegation.

The letter was sent to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office as well as election officials in swing states Ohio, North Carolina, Colorado. The RNC said the alleged voting machine problems were the result of “miscalibration and hyper-sensitivity of the machines” and asked officials to recalibrate voting machines on Election Day and instruct poll workers to remind voters to double-check their votes.

A spokeswoman for the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office said a statement on the RNC claim will be issued later today.

7. I'm sure they'll be trying to have "technicians" standing by in Ohio also!

We need Anonymous (or someone) to go ahead and do what they threaten to do, I'm thinking if they hacked the vote to put an unlikely 3rd party candidate up so many votes that both parties would HAVE to acknowledge that the machines aren't secure. Make it Jill Stein...
