Everyone needs to file an official complaint with the election boards, put this on all the media.
PLEASE don't sit back and just take it. There is too much at stake.

Reverse lie. Repubs have already filched millions of votes from this election in another multipronged effort. From what I understand O has no expectations for NC anyway.

You're right though. A child of 6 might come up with a better explanation of this open joke called elections.

"Voting machines in N.C. are giving vote to Obama when voters cast ballot for Romney."

So the voting machines are more intelligent than the Hillbillys?

Re: Voting machines in N.C. are giving vote to Obama when voters cast ballot for Romney
GREENSBORO, N.C. –The Presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County.

On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location.

One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote it defaulted to President Obama.

“I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis. [link to myfox8.com]

Hello? This TrustTheVote guy (and Obama donor) is the brother of a phony birther who published her own Hawaiian birth certificate online and in Jerome Corsi's book, "Where's the REAL Birth Certificate," in an attempt to authenticate Obama's birth certificate:

Coincidentally, their father also attended the University of Hawaii at the same time as Stanley Ann Dunham, in 1963.

Fixed. Free and fair elections are a thing of the past.

Please, BOTH teams are playing together to give us sheep "election reform" that will hand our free and fair elections to TPTB.

No wonder Obama has pulled out of N.C. Guess he thinks he's got this one in the bag. No need to campaign further there.

Re: Voting machines in N.C. are giving vote to Obama when voters cast ballot for Romney
I'll post this here also, crazy info.

I will not vote ever with a computer, we fought to have them removed and we won where I live. The government themselves admits that 10% of electronic voting machines fail each election cycle sometimes resulting in the loss of the vote.


Now here are your NC voting machines and the issue they admit about them, remember this is just what they admit to.





Things to Look Out For

• The PEB slot on the face of the iVotronic is particularly sensitive. The EVEREST study showed that a voter with a magnet and a properly programmed PDA (with an infrared port) could gain privileged access to the sensitive functions of the machine. If you see anyone spending a long time in an iVotronic voting booth and engaging in activity that appears to be centered around the upper-left part of the iVotronic, they might be messing with the PEB slot. Of course, they might also just be voting, so don’t cry wolf.

• The VVPAT printer (RTAL printer) is connected to the iVotronic via a cable that is connected to the top of the machine. This cable, unless the jurisdiction has purchased special cables or connectors, can be disconnected by a voter and various types of mischief could be performed (from printing extra VVPAT records to messing with the internals of the iVotronic). If you observe anyone disconnecting this cable, alert the pollworkers immediately. If a pollworker is disconnecting this cable, it should only be to swap out a printer and you should be able to observe the whole process.

• The PEB device is particularly sensitive. An attacker who gains access to a PEB for a short or extended period of time can change votes on the PEB or attack the central Election Management System when the PEB is returned to election headquarters. PEB devices should only be handled by pollworkers and pollworkers should keep a vigilant watch over their use of the PEBs throughout the day (that is, they should not be leaving them around casually and the area in which the PEBs are kept should be secure and monitored at all times). If you see a voter or non-pollworker with a PEB, notify election protection immediatey.

after a person votes they CAN ask for proof of their vote. meaning any time after the vote(up to 6 months i think, going to reread the law) a voter with proper ID showing who they are can get a print out of their vote.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12527214


I did not know this. That is interesting. I may take advantage of this law. Last time I voted I asked for a paper ballot. To my surprise I got one, but then I had to scan ot into a scanner which was recorded by a computer. I asked if they kept the paper backup. The ladies at the polling place did not know the answer. Weird. Thanks for the info.

Re: Voting machines in N.C. are giving vote to Obama when voters cast ballot for Romney
People, rigging voting machines can go either way. Remember the Ohio vote in 2008 was hotly contested as being rigged by the Republicans that owned the voting machine company? Also there was a Congressional investigation about how the voting machines were rigged to make the Miami vote go republican; as there was a computer programmer at the hearing who testified he was paid by someone to change the vote count using sophisticated programing procedures. He said there is no way to really catch this vote rigging going on at the time of the voting; only later on. He said the best way to see if an elections was rigged was to poll each voter as they left the poling station, see how they voted then check it against the official statistics of the computers. He did not talk about how paper ballots could be rigged; but someone mentioned they found sacks of ballots in dumpsters in heavily democratic areas of various cities.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12527214


It is impossible for this lady to know how she voted, and if it was who she really wanted. All the votes are either in a computer or even if you have a paper ballot and you have already put it into the box, and aren't sure of how you voted, it is too late. She cannot go back and see how she voted by either method. So how does she know her vote went the wrong way?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19996307


I need further clarification on voting machines. In my state we do paper ballots and personally hand them in.

Cana voter from these areas provide proof of these claims?

Re: Voting machines in N.C. are giving vote to Obama when voters cast ballot for Romney
I dunno..


I think the following is the truth:

1) If the machiness are rigged - they WILL NOT let the voters themselves know it unless intended.. Otherwise it is not rigged to do anyhting other than expose itself as being rigged...

2)If the machines, for either party, openly indicate the other party is criminal - that means he who smelt it delt it.. cuz the machines will not just openly indicate this... no one would alter the machines to specifically incriminate themselves.


3)if people fall for this in particular, they are missing the real point...

4) the real point is that if there is any gerymandering or fixing the machines, and it is obvious and identifiable in some cases, that means there is massive fixing of the machines, and the vast majority is NOT identifiable, because people usually dont program viruses to let the infected know they are infected....

These machines are designed to be unreliable. Now Fox News is getting you ready to think they're all going to shift Democratic, and the real shift to Republican will get overlooked. It's a conspiracy!

Romney's going to win. This election has already been paid for.

Touchscreens loose calibration all the time. They do it on slot machines all the time. I suspect that this is the issue that is occuring. All that is needed is for someone to re-calibrate the touchscreen.
