Voting machines working for the (D) guys

MARION - Joan Stevens was one of several early voters at the polls on Monday. But when Stevens tried to cast her ballot for president, she noticed a problem.
Upon selecting "Mitt Romney" on the electronic touch screen, Barack Obama's name lit up.
It took Stevens three tries before her selection was accurately recorded.
"You want to vote for who you want to vote for, and when you can't it's irritating," Stevens said.
Stevens said she alerted Jackie Smith, a board of elections member who was present. Smith declined to comment, but Stevens says she mentioned that the machine had been having problems all day.
Stevens also reported the issue to Sophia Rogers, the director of the board of elections for Marion County.
Rogers said the machine worked fine when she and others tried voting on it. No one else had reported problems with the voting machines malfunctioning.
Rogers suggested the issue may have been caused by not hitting the button directly or tapping with more than one finger. Stevens was aware the machine had to be operated a certain way.
"I know how to do the voting," Stevens said.
Despite no problems with that particular machine, Rogers decided to take all precautions. She contacted the vendor and had them inspect the device.
"Because of her issue, we had that machine recalibrated," Rogers said. "I am certain the equipment works properly."
Rogers said that those still skeptic about using the electronic stations have the option of filling out a paper ballot, even voting from home and mailing via absentee ballot.
Voting in-person is open daily to all voters at 222 West Center Street through Election Day on November 6. All qualified Ohio voters can also submit an absentee ballot by filling out a form found at the Marion elections website at marionelections.com

And in Guilford Co.,(Greensboro) NC
Same thing happened in 08.
There is always election fraud going on in NC. Democraps have been in charge of everything for 100 years, except for a couple of blips when they failed to cheat enough. They know they will win even at the lowest county level and have expected to for so long that when they happen to lose, they scream and start saying the Republicans cheated. They have forgotten that they have a monopoly on that, it's so ingrained it's just SOP.
We need some more of you Yankee Republicans to move down here to block the Yankee Democraps flooding our state.
Come on down, I promise to be nice.
Bring me a Chicago dog please. Thankyew![8D]
