"Calibration error" causes votes to change from republican to democrat
Posted by Non_mooching_artist 9 years, 6 months ago to Politics
So, how many other machines have done this, but no one noticed? Or said anything? And in Illinois no less.... The home of Chicago... Wow, I don't really believe this was an error. How about manual ballots?
By the way, I have some swamp land and a few bridges for you.
Coincidence? Nope. Where I come from, and even with Common Core, 2 plus 2 still equals 4.
It has been brought up before but since the democrats run the election machinery in Illinois, it mysteriously never gets fixed.
Working as intended no doubt
We need voter ID nationwide too. A wise man once said "Trust but Verified"
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Is it plugged in?
Have you tried sending them the request?
Is there someone in your group with more experience doing this?
And from our backs comes the skin.
Thought so!
(When is it OK to start shooting?)

I have worked with many GUIs. If made properly and software programmed accordingly, no "calibration" is required. It is digitally mapped when done properly. Of course machines produced from government contracts with impossible specifications and parameters could be made to require calibration. But anyone interested in repeatable design and build as well as efficiency would not be caught dead with a design that required calibration.
Maybe its just my paranoia again.
These are portable voting machines and I do not doubt that they can lose registration after being jostled around when moved from place to place. All the more reason that qualified technicians must check them out after each move to ensure that they are registering votes properly.
Sarcasm...
Question is who decides which way the error flips?
This is absolutely and unquestionably fraud.
I am a rather prolific poster of letters to the editor in our local paper. I have no doubt that the postal carriers and postal workers in the local office know who I am, and my political leanings. It would not be difficult for them to take my ballot response (since I'm usually out of town on election day, I nearly always vote some form of absentee) and dispose of it. I nearly always bring the ballot in personally, so that it is delivered directly to the clerk of the town. Does this ensure that it isn't then disposed of? No. But I can at least after the fact check to see if I had voted, and if not, challenge where my ballot ended up. Not foolproof, but better than nothing.
We need to let the Congresscritters know loud and clear, they must preserve a completely honest and fair system of elections, or we'll be forced to overthrow them by other means than running for office. And there are no degrees of honesty; it's all-or-nothing.
