Last
week we saw how "Early
voting in Illinois got off
to a rocky start when votes being cast for Republican candidates
were transformed into votes for Democrats." This week the same
charges
have been leveled here in Maryland.
Democratic
candidate Anthony Brown says he’s confident the board will address all
issues.
“I think we should always be vigilant to make sure that voters can cast
a ballot and that it’s accurately recorded,” said Lt. Gov. Anthony
Brown, (D) Maryland.
In a statement to WJZ, board officials say “election officials receive
similar reports in every election.
Post-election analysis
(?) has shown that this
is caused by voter error.
Voters with large fingers or long nails or voters who hold the
touchscreen with their palm resting on the screen seem to report this
issue more frequently.” ahem

Okay, I'm listening to Tom Marr (WCBM) this
morning,
and a women calls about her voting experience in Queen Anne's
County (MD). It went something like this.
Woman, voice
shaking ( ... after I
voted for Andy Harris (the only elected congressional Republican
from Md.) I
checked my ballot to make sure I'd filled everything in and there—right in front of my eyes—my vote for Harris disappeared and moved
to
the Democrat! I raised my hand and the election judge came
over. I
explained what just happened and he asked, "Well, did you fix
it?". I
went back and changed it to Harris, then watched for a few
minutes to make sure it didn't change again before punching out.
After the Ellen
Sauerbrey stick-up in 1994, I doubt there's many non-Liberals
in this state who have faith
in the outcome of any close race. The explanation that long
fingernails, or hitting the screen with a palm is responsible is
lame
to begin with, but impossible when the change appears on the review
screen. So, either this lady is lying, or this is a prima
facie
case of machine code being "tweaked" by you-know-who. |
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

It's not "voter error" (no matter what "calibration errors" are postulated) when the errors always go one way.
ReplyDeleteVote fraud/corruption is an attempt to overthrow the gov't by unlawful means.
You know … treason or sedition.

ReplyDeleteIt's obvious they want us to jump to the fourth box.
ReplyDeleteIn Commie enclaves like Maryland, Illinois, New York, et al, I don't see much alternative. Sooner the better, I say.
Well all 130% of eligible voters in Port Saint Lucie are lined up on the sidewalk right now. The thought of more Charlie Crist makes me ill.-Anymouse
