Machines have a mind of their own (extra)


http://youtu.be/QdpGd74DrBM


In a recent article there was a video on YouTube video online showing and voter on Election Day apparently trying to electronically cast his vote for Barack Obama and finding it recorded as a vote for Mitt Romney instead. "I initially selected Obama but Romney was highlighted. I assumed it was being picky so I deselected Romney and tried Obama again, this time more carefully, and still got Romney," the guy writes, adding that, when he asked for help, a poll worker told him, "It's nothing to worry about, everything will be OK." He swears the footage is unedited and says he'll "GLADLY provide the raw footage" to anyone who can help prove it. Needless to say, he's already getting volunteers. Last week, a voter complained that a machine did the same thing in favor of Obama. When news from a second machine was also switching the vote the poll workers said that it was fixed by resetting the machine.

  1. That's very interesting. What 's even more interesting is the fact that we have the 'footage.' Welcome to the YouTube politics!
