Voting Machines In Illinois and Maryland Switching Vote From Republican To Democrat

Just a few more days until Election Day, that is if you haven't already early voted. But it seems that Democrats are being accused of alleged voter fraud. Surprise, surprise.

According to Watchdog.org voting machines in Maryland are supposedly switching votes from Republican to Democrat.

“When I first selected my candidate on the electronic machine, it would not put the ‘x’ on the candidate I chose — a Republican — but it would put the ‘x’ on the Democrat candidate above it,” Donna Hamilton said.

“This happened multiple times with multiple selections. Every time my choice flipped from Republican to Democrat. Sometimes it required four or five tries to get the ‘x’ to stay on my real selection,” the Frederick, Md., resident said last week.

Queen Anne County Sheriff Gary Hofmann said he encountered the problem, too, personally.

“This is happening here as well. It occurred on two candidates on my machine. I am glad I checked. Many voters have reported this here as well,” Hofmann, a Republican, wrote in an email Sunday evening.

Several others complained about the same problem.

And Illinois voters are experiencing the same issue.

Illinois Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to the Schaumburg Public Library last Monday to vote for himself. “Instead, it cast the vote for my opponent,” Moynihan told Watchdog.org.

“You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat,” Moynihan said.

He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race.

Maryland is claiming it's a calibration issue. Not so, claims an expert, Tony Heller. It's a software issue. It's all in the programming, which makes it all the more suspicious, according to Heller.

So, if all of of this is true.  Be very careful when you vote. Double check to make sure you are voting for the candidate you want. And if there are problems. Raise hell.
