In reply to the discussion: The reality about "vote flipping" machines in NC and elsewhere [View all]Kelvin Mace
(17,469 posts)I did not say their was NO problems, I said that the likelihood of fraud was very low, given the fact that there are easier, LEGAL ways to rig elections that does NOT involve committing felonies. Occam's Razor.
Please answer the questions I put to EVERY person who insists "vote flipping" = "fraud". If you are going to commit voter fraud by flipping votes, why make a point of letting the voter know what you are doing? If the voting machines are all rigged by GOP cronies who make the machines, what happened to President McCain and President Romney?
I have also made a point that I was talking about NC law, since the original story that made the rounds involved vote flipping on machines in Guilford County, NC, my home county.
If people are going to insist that their machines have been rigged, then they need to stop complaining about about it, and start DOING something about it. But, as someone who has done something about it, I can tell you with complete certainty that if you go to the press and election officials claiming grand conspiracies, you will accomplish ZERO as far as changing the law.
That is reality, and either we deal with it or we don't get anythingh done.
