Guilford Co. voters say ballot cast for Romney came up Obama on machine
GREENSBORO, N.C. –The presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County.
On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location.
One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama.
“I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis.
Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert says the problem arises every election. It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.
“It’s not a conspiracy it’s just a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said.
After the third try, Coromalis says she was able to get her vote counted for Gov. Romney but was still annoyed.
“I should have just mailed it in,” Coromalis said.
Marie Haydock, who also voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location, had the same problem.
“The frustration is… every vote counts,” said Haydock.
Elections officials say the machines have been fixed as of Tuesday, and no problems have been reported since.

“It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.”
If it can be re-calibrated by poll workers, it can also be un-calibrated by poll workers, and something is terribly wrong about that.
We know damn well that democrats will be using this to their advantage. They will have to cheat in order to win as they are outnumbered by logical thinking humans.

Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert says the problem (votes going to Democrats) arises every election. It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers. (If they catch us)
“It’s not a conspiracy it’s just a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said, so BIOYA. (Blow It Out Your Ass)

I reckon the U.N. observers will be all over this…
BTW Were there any U.N. observers at the recent Venezuelan elections?

I wonder how they resolve the problem if no one notices for the first few hours of the election? What do they do with the votes in the machine (and presumbly already sent off to a central SkyNet computer)?

“… a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said.”
Yo, Gilbert, don’t you do that BEFORE the election?
I think Gilbert’s a lying sack of goat shit.

Another reason why I use vote by mail.

I get the impression this election, maybe previous ones, that polls are for the sole purpose of letting the rats know how many votes they’ll need to create.

If you vote by machine and you happen to notice that your vote automatically defaults to president Bastard 0bama, please tear that fucking machine to pieces and demand another one that is in good working order.
