Cheating will be going on at every level, at every stage of voting. Trump/Musk/Republicans will do anything to keep the House & Senate. Watch your ballot choices carefully and encourage everyone to vote. Voting is the basic level of democracy. We may have to fill the streets like France, Albania
Is that shit real? Is it nationwide? Is that a technical problem known before? Does it sometimes play out in another way as well, not flipping from democrat to republican? Can the system be tempered with? If yes, is this a systematic thing?
Okay anybody that votes on one of these machines, demand a paper copy of your ballot. I seriously don't know if they will do that, but at least try or go to your court house.
“In Tennessee last week at the Hermitage Library where I voted, I had to go back three times and correct my vote because it kept defaulting to Marsha Blackburn,” Parton wrote on Facebook. “I would never vote for her for anything.”

Touch area calibration is a real thing. If you are using a machine to vote, try touching higher or lower to mark the spot you want. However, your best method of voting is with a paper ballot. Those can't be hacked.
Hand marked Paper ballots coupled with optical scan
Is a currently available technology which creates two separate records of voter intent
Paper ballot with optical scan creates two separate vote totals that can be compared
Essentially double entry book keeping
So the area that was defined to 'listen' for the touch, on the first (Republican) line, is too large and overlapping the area that was defined for the second (Democrat) line.
You have to define where the user can touch so the program can listen for the touch.
It's poor programming.
Just sayin'
That's why America needs paper ballots, like pretty much everywhere else in the world. Organize people to do the counting, and it's just a matter of hours until you have results everywhere. IT'S NOT THAT HARD and it's significantly harder to cheat.
Touch terminals are used by disabled folks as well, and have been a good addition to voter accessibility. Touch terminals print out a paper ballot so the voter can immediately verify their choices.
Also there are disabled folk everywhere, in places where voting is done by paper ballot. Also, in most places with paper ballot, you do NOT place the ballot in the box yourself. You give it to the person in charge of the box and they do it, so that you won't insert more than one and invalidate all
Machines record what is input. They aren't connected to the internet to be hacked or built so they can change anything. You get a printed record of your choices, which you verify before submitting, and is your guarantee. In IA & AZ you put your ballot in the tabulator yourself.
Still no guarantee whatsoever that the vote receipt you get is the same that is input in the system. Yes, you can add and remove or even trash and burn paper ballots, but you can't hack them or make it so that they change the result the second you insert them in the box.
Shitty touch technology. I have the same problem when using my phone to fill out forms on websites or in apps, or when I use a touch pad at a store. Self-checkout terminals make me homicidal. The tech has never been ideal, so it isn't surprising voting machines are also doing typical glitchy shit.
Great...a fucking Indiana ballot. I live close to the district that candidate "Jim Baird (R)" represents. I voted last week and checked for that hinky shit that was exhibited here.
Gee...another blue vote in a red state diddled with.
Depends on your local rules. I know this is going around but it's not true for every polling location. Double-check your area's rules for voting, they should be in your Voter Guide.
This is how we do it in my county
Completely blacken the square then feed it into a reader
There's a paper trail for recounts
It's a bit of a pain but fortunately I've been coloring inside the lines since I was about 4 years old
Ahhh, “Democracy” brought to you by the Nazi fascist pedophile trillionaire immigrant and his twice impeached, Nazi fascist pedophile, child raping, pants-shitting, 7 time bankrup, 34 time convicted felon golf cheater.
Now go out and vote..
