there is not enough transparency or security with electronic voting as it currently stands

(and this happens the opposite too, people select democrat and republican is selected. it's not one way)

pffff

Smath, you know as well as I do that voter fraud is just a myth perpetrated by the Republican party. Because it is completely legit that some districts go through presidential elections without a single Republican vote.

When someone can show me where it is statistically significant, I will believe that it warrants draconian voter restrictions, cuts, and intimidation, etc.

10/30/2014 9:52:07 PM

Does rjrumfel never get tired of being so dumb?

10/31/2014 6:20:55 AM

1. He means precincts, not districts.

2. Is it really? Does it shock you that states like WV and OK didn't have a single county vote for Obama? Would it surprise you if a precinct in a rural part of a red state didn't show any Obama votes?

10/31/2014 8:04:44 AM

Having to show an ID at the poll is hardly draconian.

10/31/2014 8:14:49 AM

And if that were ALL that the bill had contained (and provided they actually intended to properly fund the ID program), then there would not be such a conversation about it. Come on, you're smarter than this...

10/31/2014 8:18:32 AM

having to show an ID at the poll would not stop the kind of fraud this thread is about or the kind of fraud that rjrumfel is alluding too

(it can really only combat the kind of fraud that happens at such a small rate that it doesn't matter)

50,000 missing voter registrations in Georgia

Quote :

"More than 50,000 of the paper forms submitted by the group seem to be lost in the state’s voting system, Lawyers’ Committee attorney Julie Houk said. They neither appear on voter rolls nor do they show up on lists of “pending” voters who have been asked to provide more information to verify who they are. An additional 5,000 of the forms do appear on pending lists, but Houk said some of the forms show the information originally submitted to be accurate. In other words, the Lawyers’ Committee is questioning why these voters must provide additional proof of identification. The lawsuit, filed late Friday in Fulton County Superior Court, comes after Kemp declined Thursday to meet with the group about their concerns."

the judge refused to hear the lawsuit

its happened in IL, VA, and GA too.

and its always voting for dems, not reps. i understand the error of course, but its a little odd that reps never benefit from it (as mentioned above would be the case if it was random).

probably not a big deal even if true, but odd nonetheless. if you wanted the voter fraud debate to disappear you would do more to police the rare instances tarnishing your reputation.

then you wouldnt have republicans pursing the nuclear option. just my two cents.

10/31/2014 10:32:52 AM

The nuclear option?

10/31/2014 10:50:04 AM

Its happening right here in NC, too!!! Surprise, its recording Tillis votes when Hagan was selected:

unfortunately, no republicans on the state board of elections could be found pursuing the "nuclear option." Republicans ran on restoring the integrity of our elections, you'd think they'd be "policing this if they didn't want it to tarnish their reputation."

10/31/2014 10:59:44 AM

10/31/2014 11:44:36 AM

Accuse me of snark all you want, you're the one posting falsehoods, and trying to build a "theory" off of it.

Have you ever posted something substantive or analytical in TSB? When you aren't playing grab ass with dtownral, you're the king of dropping into threads with a one sentence reply that basically amounts to "libruls shore are dumb, etc.". It really moves the conversation forward.

10/31/2014 12:05:36 PM

This thread is hilarious... i'm pretty sure the exact same allegations get thrown around pretty much every election.

The "vote switching" has always just been a calibration error, it's not a random thing, and you couldn't even really program this into a vote machine anyway (not to mention it's usually been companies owned by conservatives that make the vote machines).

It's possible that the calibration tends to go out in 1 direction more than another, so a clever election official that knows this might put a name at the upper or lower spot depending, but this itself is pretty unlikely, and to my knowledge, not a characteristic of capacitative touch screens. And as anyone knows that owns a phone, if your finger is sweaty or has lotion, that affects how accurate touch sensors are.

There ARE touch sensing mechanisms that don't have this type of problem, why vote machines aren't using them is a good questions.

But this isn't "fraud" it's just bad technology... it's like the butterfly ballots (a bad design).

And I at the insinuations this is somehow validates the wonky ideas rolled into voter ID laws by Republicans.

10/31/2014 12:08:26 PM

"Libruls shore are geniuses I tell ya". /snark


You need to take a few steps back and realize you are the absolute worst poster in TSB.

10/31/2014 12:25:36 PM

People who work (aka Republicans) should get 2 votes.

If you can work but are on welfare instead (food stamps, unemployment, "didabilities") get no votes bc they will just vote themselves more money.

10/31/2014 1:17:21 PM

Yes the ACORN guys was trying to bait people again. He has been proven to be a snake oil salesman with clever editing etc. in fact he had to pay out 100k in a lawsuit relating to those videos. Anyway the NC voter ID law goes well beyond the ID itself and I still want to know how it's dark money provision protects the vote.

Oh come on, it doesn't matter one fucking bit who you vote for. They're all just slight variations of the same person that has been in office for the last 50 years. You have no choice in the matter as long as you continue to vote D or R and let them control who appears on the ballots.

Our system is a poorly disguised sham and all you're doing is arguing over whether you'd rather be drowned or burned to death.

huh?

11/2/2014 7:44:03 PM

Democrats are clogging up voting lines with large fat people to make it longer and harder to vote. This was documented by me last week at my polling place, which is NOT Arby's.

^^Democrats are changing votes on electronic voting machines from Hagan to Tillis in multiple precincts and counties in NC

there has been at least one report in guilford county of someone punching hagan and it registers a vote for tillis.

dtownral is trying to be funny given the title of this thread; democrats being responsible for this machine as well.

keep up dude.

It has been CONFIRMED that Democrats are selling extra votes for Kay Kagan with a purchase of a Beef n Cheddar or equal or lesser value.

GREENSBORO — Another Guilford County voter has reported having problems casting a vote for a U.S. Senate candidate.

Percy Bostick, 69, of Greensboro said he tried casting a vote for Democrat Kay Hagan at the Old Guilford County Courthouse, only to have the machine register Republican Thom Tillis as his choice.

“I called one of the poll workers over,” Bostick said. “She said do it again. And again, I touched the screen at the proper place for Kay Hagan, and it again reported it for Thom Tillis.”
