WV Voters Say Machines Are Switching Votes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the he-who-pays-diebold-wins dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Three Putnam County voters say electronic voting machines changed their votes from Democrats to Republicans when they cast early ballots last week. This is the second West Virginia county where voters have reported this problem. Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for 'Barack Obama' kept flipping to 'John McCain.'"

    Why don't we both send them out to be qualified by USMC standards.

    They can both try to pass the annual Marine Corps physical and the KD course.

    I suspect that after "training up" a little that Joe Cool will make Expert. The hothead will probably UNQ.

    Generally it's the negative mods that are abusing the anonymity, but occasionally there's a bit of positive abuse.
