YouTube member centralpavoting posted a video this morning that shows his voting machine choosing Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan as president, even though he was selecting President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Whether they favor Obama or Romney doesn’t matter — that voting machines are changing anyone’s vote is scary.

Their technology has been questioned since they were introduced. Make sure you’re double-checking your votes today.

  1. If machines altering votes for the President to votes for Mr. Romney and Tagg Romney actually owning voting machines in Ohio is the way the Romney Campaign plans to swing this election they are not only going to be defeated but they will completely destroy the GOP in the process. There is no way that the Republican Party will have any credibility left once this is all brought to light. And with this being the most highly anticipated election in recent history, with cameras, media, lawyers, researchers, technology/polling experts, on-site, literally, everywhere, there is simply no way that they will not be caught. If true, the Romney Campaign and the Republican Party has made yet another huge mistake, reckless and politically fatal.

  2. I like this comment:

    “The machine seems to be working just fine, it’s its way of telling you Obama and Romney are just the same. Next time, click the “GARY JOHNSON, President” button instead.”

  3. The Republicans are not even trying to hide the fact that they are trying to reduce the number of Democrats who are allowed to vote. States were FORCED to buy the new electronic machines. New Republican majorities around the country are passing photo ID laws as fast as they can get them implemented. Republicans are searching voter records all over the country trying to purge people in Democrat leaning areas who have the same name as someone who has lost their right to vote. In PA today 75 Republican “vote inspectors” were thrown out of polling places.

    I wonder why this doesn’t make anyone nervous.

  4. “Guilford County Register of Deeds George Gilbert said that all touch screen voting machines have to be recalibrated periodically, especially during times of heavy use. “

    So why do we use them? Would your bank use an ATM that was that unreliable?
