‘Calibration error’ changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county
CHICAGO — Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.
Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.

“I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan said. “You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat.”

The conservative website Illinois Review reported that “While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race

American voters should DEMAND that we return to the old style, mechanical voting machines. It's funny, but I'm 62 y/o and do not remember seeing or hearing about any problems with the old machines (other than my Buddy who had to deliver the machine bitching about how heavy they were!!), now we have all these problems we are seeing with the new voting technologies!

Is it really too tough on the new generation's soft hands to actually pull the levers??

Are you kidding? We can't even demand that people produce the same ID they are required to use to buy cigarettes and beer or enter an airport gate, or a federal building, because it's "RACIST". WTF?!

I think the folks that built the machine went out of business .. Parts were hard to find

Isn't it funny how every time there is a problem with voting machines it's always in favor of the Democraps. Seems like a trend.

I'm pretty sure someone with a 3d printer or CNC machine could make any parts needed, OR perhaps some CHINESE company could make them. That excuse is just what they want us to believe, as it was a little tougher to rig elections with the old machines.

Just sayin'!

I think it is nothing new. If you are going to post links to old stories you should state something to the effect of, " this is an old story but it still has relevance." So it is not misleading.

"Calibration Error" is Latin for vote theft.

Expert: 'Child's play' to rig vote counts
America's computerized voting system isn't just as easy to hack into as Target credit systems, but is "programmed to cheat," according to an explosive report by a long-time election forensics expert.

"The grim truth that is so hard to tell and so hard to swallow is that America's electoral system has been corrupted in the most direct and fundamental of ways: the computers that now count virtually all of our votes in secret can be—and, the evidence indicates, have been—programmed to cheat," said Jonathan Simon.
In an interview, said that Americans are too trusting of elections boards and machines. He said that there is little or now way to verify vote counts on computers and said that a sketchy programmer or elections official can shift vote numbers around to favor their wished for result while still showing accurate numbers of votes. "It's child's play," he said.

Was that so hard? That is what should have been posted in the first place.
