Nevada: Reid's name already checked on [SEIU maintained] voting machines
2010-10-27
LAS VEGAS -- Some voters in Boulder City complained on Monday that their ballot had been cast before they went to the polls, raising questions about Clark County's electronic voting machines.

Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.

Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.

"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."

Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.
I call bullshit. Once - a fluke, Twice - Coincidence, More than that (within 5 minutes) - intentional.
And isn't it simply amazing how Angle's name doesn't ever get magically marked? ITS A SIGN FROM ALLAN!

"Especially in a community with elderly citizens (they have) difficulty in (casting their) ballot," Lomax said. "Team leaders said there were complaints (and the) race filled in."

At any time, voters can go back on the screen and review their selections. They are also allowed to make changes and encouraged to double-check their ballot on screen and on paper before it is cast.
That is if they happen to notice. Looks like Joyce - and a number of others (too many for coincidence) did notice.
Voters seem to be paying attention this time around.

#15  Soap Box - they didn't listen.

Ballot Box - they're vote rigging and cheating.

Jury Box - up to Holder, and the courts who struck down the requirement to show citizenship when registering to vote...

That leaves the cartridge box.

I hope the ballot box works this time out, in spite of the rampant Dem fraud, because we damned sure cannot depend on the Jury box any more, and neither party seems inclined to listen to the soap box.

#13  Just about all we need is a video of a voting machine changing someone's vote on its own.

#11  i>"What is going to be done about it? Absolutely squat! That's what."Don't know what all the fuss is about.  These individuals are breaking laws.  Charge them by the book, make a citizens arrest and bring them to Comanche or, the badlands land of Arizona they've created or the wilds of Alaska and they will be held in a secure location until a government in DC that honors US laws is re-established.  Then and only then will they see the opportunity for a fair trial. Comanche is where I prefer, so I can bless them with me and my compadre's fine company.

#10  In order to obtain a conviction for voter fraud the prosecution must prove intent. This requirement provides cover for the reluctant prosecutors and discourages the dedicated from pursuing criminal charges.

#9  The left is anti-democratic. Why let the little people decide something so important as who their rulers should be? So it makes perfect sense that they would not respect democratic institutions -- like the vote. There is no mystery why all the fraud seems to benefit Democrats.

#8  People are bloody furious over this, I don't know if you've read the comments on some of these stories but they seem to be running about 50% saying time to lock and load.

It's not quite that time and I'm still hoping we don't reach that point. I do think states should pass laws making voter fraud fall under treason statutes with big hefty fines and mandatory long jail sentences. Because voter fraud is treason. People act like it's not such a big deal but it's designed to undermine our country. How can it not be treason?

I went and did early voting and didn't see any problems on our machines though.

#7  The biggest threat to our democracy is now the Democrat party, as controlled by the Union bosses and so-called "Liberal Elites".

And if you are a Democrat, you should get out - there is guilt by association. Your support of that party is supporting the most corrupt big political party in the US - one that is attacking the very foundations of our nation by perverting the voting process directly and by proxy (ACORN for example).

The cleanup of the GOP is under way by the TEA Party people - when will you Democrats clean up?

Save the nation - vote OUT a Democrat.

#6  Amazing how nearly all the 'errors' default to one party's candidates.

#1  paying attention to what end? We are seeing massive voter fraud all over the country and military disenfranchisement and... and.. so what? What is going to be done about it? Absolutely squat! That's what. The military brass won't act. The FBI seeming does nothing but make jokes about mafia influence in elections.

It almost seems the Iraqis have a better chance of democracy than we do. I suppose we can put our future hope in that.
