GOP voting machines paranoiaYT
Disregard the title of the youtube video.

I've heard of people having their votes flipped. For instance they tap the box on the screen for Romney and the Obama box is highlighted. This could either happen for two reasons: incompetence by poll workers (machine wasn't calibrated) or as Eric Bolling suggests for more nefarious reasons.

whats so wrong with paper ballots? Voting was done with paper ballots for over 200 years. I'm not a luddite but i think our society always looks for a technological solution even when problems don't exist.

Yeah, I heard that yesterday and again today.  They said to review you vote closely before you click the final "Cast Vote" button.   They said make sure your vote is exactly like you want it before you and that your ballot is actually marked by the person you intended to vote for before hitting the vote button. 

They said that some of the ballots had Obama's name typed large, while Romney's is typed smaller.   They are determined to get him back in one way or the other! :thumbdown:

VOTE FOR ROMNEY........ROMNEY/RYAN.......VOTE FOR ROMNEY

when i go to the atm it prints me out a receipt that shows the record of my transaction. I don't know why we can't have the same with voting. Some e-voting machines have no paper trail at all.

I don't think it matters what the method is, democrats will find a way to cheat. They always have.

I don't like them.

You should be given a blank ballot (after presenting your ID and registration) and told to vote for whom you want IN ENGLISH then have you finger dipped in purple indelible ink

That would eliminiate half the idiots and illiterate crack heads and winos and illegals who vote for you know who.
