    Once again the old excuse of so called "Calibration Error" and one would want to believe it as a legitimate creditable excuse if it wasn't for the vast majority of the time being in Democrats favor when these so called errors happened

    Yes, touch screens do have to be calibrated.

    Phones, computers, tablets.

    You don't find it odd that a.) they weren't properly calibrated before voting, and b.) the 'errors' always seem to work in democrats favor?

    Spacing, placement. On some ballots candidates are listed in the same order according to party. If the screen needs to be calibrated, touching it in one spot on each page will show the same result in regards to spacing.


    Or it could just be a claim by a guy seeking to perpetuate a myth for his own political benefit.

    There ya done thing really wrong with this story. Our votes are secret there us no big massive TV screens in voting stations that show each vote by person. We do not know that Kinky Booboobean just voted for Stashu Bobalitsky. Gimme a break!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Where is it documented that touch screen defaults alway go to those Dems?

    I am again how did the guy know that his vote sent for someone other than who he wanted ? Did he get a chance to see hus selections and an opportunity to hit ok or go back and fix his selections?

    Well if the votes were going to the Democrat, there would be no need to "calibrate."

    They showed it on the news. Calibration my ass. More cheating lefties. They are traitors.

    exactly, I would argue they calibrated it perfectly according to Hillarys standards.

    Every step of the election process has been made to promote and protect election fraud at every level of the process. Free democratic elections in this country are a facade and a fraud. They do not exist for any substantive election and the results as accurate as dictators who claim they received 99% of the vote - only more sophisticated and diverse methods of election theft and fraud in the USA.

    I anticipate in key swing states in Democrat urban areas the vote will be shifted by polling place voter fraud, ineligible voters, dead voters, not existence voters, qualified voters told they can't and computer hacking fraud by 20% in favor of Hillary Clinton and in straight Democrat ticket voting.

    Has nothing to do with calibration.

    Not one person on this forum has ever experienced when typing on their keyboard that they type the letter A and improper calibration instead places an M. Yet that is exactly the excuse they are giving when they say "calibration."

    Of course, they are so smug they actually run with these BS stories thinking that people will actually buy their happy horse(*)(*)(*)(*). Scumbags, filthy rotten scum.

    Maybe I am wrong. Maybe there was one, single machine someone hacked into and changed a couple lines of code to indicate whether someone pushed in one spot, another lit up.

    This hacking was super specific, and only would happen when this one Republican tried to vote.


    Or maybe the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing screen just needed to be calibrated. When you hear the sound of hooves, think horses, not zebras and unicorns.

    Yeah because screen technology is only off in one section but none of the others. You really ought to think about changing your tag. Oh wait, that wont work either. You need to be told what to think. Yes of course everyone using todays touch screens have noticed that its only off in one spot. The spot where you vote for President switches your vote to the dem if you select the republican.
    Try accepting the truth and demanding fair elections like real Americans.

    I am sure you guys were equally upset when the Dieboldt CEO publicly promised to give the election to GWB? Looking back to that time, however, Republicans defended e-voting, because their guy won.

    Back to reality, though, e-voting machines are usually tested by a bipartisan group of volunteers at each polling place. If there was a calibration error, the GOP representatives should have picked up on it.

    Finally, why would the e-voting machine manufacturers support a Democrat? Logic would indicate that they rather would support he low-tax, anti regulation platform of Republicans, for pure self interest.

    Fully agree. I don't know why we allow for-profit manufacturers of these machines the possibility to influence elections. Only to have the result a few hours earlier. It makes no sense to me.

    So...you're criticizing those who suspect voter fraud by bringing up...suspected voter fraud?

    I'm not following. It sounds like you think the system is rigged too.

    I am saying that the system has the potential to be rigged, because you give private companies the keys to potentially deciding the election. I said this in 2004 and I am saying it now. That's why I am for eliminating e-voting machines.

    With that said, there is no evidence that, if someone was to rig the elections, they would do it in Clinton's favor. In fact, past evidence showing the e-voting machine companies favoring the GOP, as discussed in my above post.

    I am also pointing out the hypocrisy of the Trump supporters crying foul now when they didn't say a peep in 2000 and 2004.

    There were no Trump supporters in 2000 and 2004.

    So...you are saying there was no voting fraud in either for those years, and that the system isn't rigged? I'm trying to get a clear answer from you and that seems surprisingly difficult.

    As both, Trump and GWB are/were nominees of the GOP, I would presume that the vast majority of the Trump supporters voted for GWB. If that's the case, that makes them hypocrites for not speaking up when the Dieboldt CEO planned to give the election to GWB.

    As for actually rigging elections, there has been no proof that it happened in 2000/2004, as there is no proof now. However, to assume that both parties are not doing the utmost to win, even going to borderline illegal means, would be naïve.

    That's why I am for making rigging as hard as possible, and that includes getting rid of e-voting machines.

    Ahhh so you do believe it's a rigged system and there is voting fraud...

    ...oh wait now you don't? What the....

    Like I said, it's hard to get a straight answer.
