The machine DOES NOT "see" the name "Obama." It "sees" a filled-in oval and credits a vote to the line next to that oval, and that line is for a different candidate in every precinct. The machine tallies up the votes assigned to each line and prints what to it is just random alphabetical characters, but reads as the candidate's name to us. You can't just magically tell the machine to read the name "Obama" and take away all his votes.

I suggest you spend less time getting your information from Internet websites that ask you for donations by making up wild stories and trying to impress people with "computer code" and mathematical equations that don't reflect reality.
