Problems with voting machines, now in MD.


Posted: Oct 27, 2014

It's apparently the same problem as last week in Illinois, changing republican votes to democrat votes. Draw your own conclusions.

That's how B.O. got elected the first 2 times. - sm

Nothing surprises me if it relates to democrats. They'll do whatever they have to "win."

Exactly what their dear leader told them to do. - I predict we will not get the Senate. Fraud Dems

Fat Fingers - I *heart* early voting

[ In Reply To ..]
Luckily I have the Google. Yup, it is similar to the same problem in Illinois last week. Here is the conclusion from the local TV station WBAL:

"Some of the concerns are turning out to be anecdotal. For example, someone using the Towson University early voting center tweeted that the machine flipped their vote but no complaint was made to the judges.

Chief Democratic Judge Denise Isaac said voters always get the last say on whether their ballot was cast the way they intended.

"When they've completed, the machine reviews everything they've voted so they can see, they can check and make any changes that they want," Isaac said. "The final vote is not cast until that person has a chance to look at everything that they've voted and they make their final decision."

A female voter in Howard County did complain to a judge. She told 11 News by phone that when she cast a ballot at the library for a Republican candidate on machine No. 18, the machine beeped and then her choice flipped over to the Democratic candidate. She said this happened repeatedly. Finally an election judge gave her a pencil with an eraser head to punch in her choice and that worked.

Officials in Frederick County believe the so-called vote-flipping problem was a "calibration issue" and they said a machine was removed from service and replaced.

A similar complaint made in Anne Arundel County resulted in the machine being taken out of service and replaced.

State election officials said they received reports that 20 voting units displayed a candidate different from what the voter selected. Twelve of those machines were thoroughly tested and the issue could not be replicated. The remaining eight units were taken out of service.

"We have a good system of checks and balances because we certainly want to let our voters know what we are doing is accurate," Isaac said.

State election officials said similar complaints are filed during every election and post-election reviews indicate it's usually caused by voter error."

Does Anyone Know About Steno MachinesMay 09, 2014
I have a friend who wants to get into court reporting.  She's looking at steno machines which can be pretty pricey (some over 1K, many in the hundreds).  She saw some on E-bay or some other site that people were bidding on around $30 to 50 or so, but asked me if I knew anything about them, like why so cheap, do the machines wear out?  I didn't know but thought I'd ask here.  Does anyone know? ...

Any Users Of Sewing Machines Out There?Apr 17, 2014

Does anyone else have the problem of certain outside noise frequencies causing their eardrums to vibrate or pulse really fast? This only happens when I wear my headphones. I have noise-canceling headphones and can't actually hear the sound, just feel the vibrations in my eardrums. It's only certain things for me like lawnmowers, chainsaws, four-wheelers, and some car/truck engines. Most of the time it isn't bad if whatever is making the noise is just there for a moment, but i ...

Period ProblemsMay 31, 2011
This may be too much info for some of you guys, so sorry in advance! My period is normally a very heavy flow with terrible cramps and lasts 6 to 8 days.  Lucky me, I know.  Last month it was normal (well, what I consider normal for me).  This month it was like 1 day of spotting and that was it.  I did have a bit of cramping, but this is not normal for me.  I haven't had sex in a couple months and my period last month was normal so I doubt I am pregnant. Any ideas? ...

Husband ProblemsAug 11, 2012

Knee ProblemsDec 11, 2012
First let me start by saying that I have had two arthroscopies on my right knee and one on my left for basically worn out cartilage and some "fraying" around the edges of the knee cartilage, but never an outright tear (according to MRI studies all three times).  My knee problems have always started out first with pain, achy-type feeling, stiffness, and a tight band-like feeling around my knee, sometimes hurting on the outer back of my knee (I know I have a Baker's cyst in both knees, b ...

Problems With TV ReceptionApr 30, 2014
Tonight I dropped my Comcast remote, and it fell upside down on the carpet.  When I picked it up, it apparently hit a button that immediately made my TV reception extremely snowy.  Can't figure out how to fix it.  I did not go near the TV, so I am sure it has nothing to do with any cable connections.  Any advice would be helpful before I undertake the task of calling Comcast, which is not always a good experience.  Thanks! ...

Health Problems Being An MTSep 11, 2014
I'm a relatively new MT and already I'm having a constant ache in my arm and shoulder. It's a strange sensation that I can't really describe. Never had problems physically before until I began being an MT. However, it didn't come on until about a year and a half of being an MT. For those who have been an MT for,say, 20 years, I don't know how you do it. You don't get health problems from working at McDonald's or Wal-Mart, I don't think. Typing 8 ...

NECK PROBLEMSApr 17, 2016

Also, I've thought about this in conjunction with things like the secret negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to gain their support for Obamacare.  I don't say this just happens on one side - it happens on both sides. I've often wonde ...
