Makes one long for the days of Al Capone. At least you knew what crimes he was committing.

Calibration, mule fritters.
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.

Yep, eyes averted, didn't see a thing!

As long as the machines are re-calibrated after each move, which they should be to ensure accuracy, and not by a tech belonging to SEIU or some other lefty union, the screen should be accurate. Of course, yours was in a state which elected Harry Reid. Hmmmmm.

He or she probably got a gold star and a chuckle from Obama and is now the local hero. No consequences and actual rewards will lead to ever more fraud.

Having some experience with touch screen type machines in certain scenarios, I know they can be calibrated to register a touch other than what is "touched". Not for a nano-second do I accept that, in the land of ultra-liberalism of Illinois, it was an accident. And, how long has it been going on prior to being discovered? And who is servicing these machines? SEIU employees? Fraud is a real possibility, especially in liberal areas.
Maybe its just my paranoia again.

ERROR; BS they just got caught, it is chicago

Serious jail time for vote fraud is the only solution, but the left is now so bold that they don't even care if they are obvious. There are a few isolated cases where foot soldiers get a rap on the knuckles, but nothing that will stop the slide toward elections for show only in these areas.

Thumbs up!

I had a degree of this problem when I voted in Vegas last weekend (we have early voting at various shopping centers). Using a touch-screen, I attempted to vote for one particular candidate and a different one was highlighted. I simply changed my vote by finding the correct location on the screen; it seems that the machine I was using was off a few pixels. I suspect that this is really is a calibration problem with some machines being off by quite a bit. Mine was only off a few pixels so I didn't report it. In retrospect, perhaps I should have.

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.

We don't even need those "discriminatory" voter ID's, according to its retired boss still in office.

Shows that there was an intentional bias in the programming. If you're going to calibrate, you want to calibrate to known, bogus values so there is zero ambiguity that it is a test state.

This is absolutely and unquestionably fraud.

Have you ever noticed that those pesky calibration errors only seem to work one way? How could a random error be biased?

Why do you only see dem. to rep.? hmm Remember it's not the vote that counts, but who counts the votes.

Don't look at that vote fraud behind the curtain!

How convenient. We joked when I lived in IL about voting early and often. I guess we weren't joking.

Calibration error, is the new standard that all poll booth's will be held to.
Sarcasm...
Question is who decides which way the error flips?

Voting problems in Illinois...a state where I think 4 of the last 7 governors have done jail time for fraud, racketeering, bribery, etc.

Coincidence? Nope. Where I come from, and even with Common Core, 2 plus 2 still equals 4.

It is so blatant. The goons manning the polls and the looters in line.
And from our backs comes the skin.

This article should have been suppressed. It might lead to untowards cynicism about our electoral process. Fraud or no fraud, we get the same outcome: more and bigger government, more debt, more regulation, more taxes, more spending, more redistribution, and more lies.

Since 2008? How about since 1960, when Illinois vote fraud cost Nixon the election.

Its my email signature. Since I started putting that, I get a lot less of the sensitive people getting offended when I ask the obvious questions... also, we tend to get to root causes faster now that people aren't getting so offended.

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?

Especially with this Justice Department
