flipping from Clinton to Drumpf? My! My! My!
Really now? You have somehow verified that every single device in the country with calibration issues is "flipping" in that direction. Please let us know how you determined that.

(11,001 posts)I think it's up to you to show the evidence.
I am a HUGE critic of these machines. But unsupported assertions, such as you have made, aren't very helpful.

(11,001 posts)problems withe machines, the focus is now on the minutia of "are you right" or "am I right". Discussion closed. Moving on.

And that doesn't help.

(16,974 posts)Saw it went the other way. Do not care for those types of machines. Too many differences between voters to accurately calibrate for every height of person.

Let me ask you a question?
If there was this super secret, highly organized effort to use machines to "flip" votes why on earth would it show the flip ON THE SCREEN.
Dont you think they would set it up to flip the votes w people thinking they voted for who they wanted to vote for?

(14,560 posts)IF this is a thing, why is the DNC not fighting it?
Bear Creek
(883 posts)This is going on and they are sticking their heads in the sand. I believe they wanted to try it in 2012 in Ohio but the polls were not close enough Rove threw a fit. There was a court case over the electronic voting during the end of bush's term. He put a gag order on the ruling.

(2,166 posts)so no one would be outraged. And many low information people don't know how technology works, they rely on their "common sense".
Cosmocat
(14,560 posts)I mean, they have the technological capacity to flip the votes in theory.
If you have that capacity, wtf would you show it happening on the screen?
This is the kind of thoughtless hysterics that the right wing engages in.

(37,990 posts)No cameras allowed in the polling station by law.
As for the "vote switching" it's been maybe two-three cases in Texas at the most, and has been attributed to user error.
Cosmocat
(14,560 posts)we just had our training last week - people are allowed to use their phones to take pictures.
There is a thing called ballot selfies.
This came up and we can't tell people they can't do it.
They explicitly said there is no law against having phones in the polling area.
blogslut
(37,990 posts)There's a map going around of states where vote selfies are/aren't allowed. My state, Texas, is always listed as unsure. I don't know why. Cameras are forbidden in polling stations and have been for as long as I can remember.
I would think that would be the case, but our county is pretty textbook and this is what we were told.
