Voting Machines Switching Votes to Obama

    Not surprising, there are more and more reports coming in from North Carolina, Ohio and Kansas, concerning electronic voting machines switching votes from Romney to Obama. This was also an issue in 2008. Voters are urged to make sure that your vote registers properly before finalizing your vote. When the machines are reported, voters are told that it is a calibration issue. “the invisible Obama field came down about 1/4 [of an inch]” into what should technically have been the Romney area.

   If these machines are programmed anything like a computer form, which I believe they are, then the form field for Obama is set larger than the one for Romney. There should be a distinct gap between fields and it appears that this is not the case. If this is the the reason, then this is certainly voter fraud and may even go back to the 2008 election! Personally, considering all of the underhanded and devious things this administration has done I would not put it past Obama and his campaign to have paid someone to monkey with the fields. They have at their disposal computer geniuses that hack into any system. Far fetched? I don't think so.

 In Ohio, the Dominion Voting Company owns and services the machines. The machines are like a touch screen phone and the calibration could be off but it is still a computer form program that runs it. Either way, were these machines not tested before people were allowed to vote?

   A spokesman for Dominion told The Blaze that many of the machines in the field — which he says are “legacy machines” not manufactured by Dominion but by companies that Dominion now owns — are up to 10 years old.
As when you purchase any electronic, you can sign up for a warranty or added customer support. The same concept applies to voting machine technology. Riggall said he believes the Marion jurisdiction does receive support from Dominion for its machines, meaning it could be called in to check and fix calibration issues. He said there is a calibration test built into the machine’s software and that the machine can also be tested through a sample ballot, which of course would not be cast as an actual vote.
“It is not uncommon to put a unit back into service when [officials] are 100 percent confident it is registering correctly,” Riggall said.
Although Marion may have vendors helping in such situations, Riggall said tech support provided for machines is jurisdiction dependent. It is up to the states or jurisdictions to decide how often machines will be checked for accuracy, and who will perform this check and fix problems when they occur.

   Bottom line is, before finalizing your vote make sure it is correct. If you get a receipt for your vote - KEEP IT!
