Decatur County Chronicle Article 1244

Several Decatur County voters are concerned about problems with the voting machines at the Election Commission Office. Voters claim they tried to vote for McCain for President but the machine checked Obama instead.

At least three voters encountered the problem when casting their early ballot on Saturday morning. Franklin Boroughs says he intended to vote for Republican but rather the computer had checked the Democratic candidate instead.

Wanda and Barney Blasingim similarly said they tried to vote for McCain but the machine switched the vote.

?I noticed the problem immediately,? Wanda said Monday. She says she touched the ?button? for McCain a second time and the problem was corrected. Her husband said he asked for assistance from election workers and was told the error sometimes occurs when a person?s finger touches close to the line of the box the candidate?s name is in.


I'd bet my salary that investigations into these black box machines will start now!

From hanging chads to corrupt machines. All I can do is shake my head in disgust.

Incidentally, your tag "Blinding you with science" is puzzling. Isn't science intended to open your eyes, rather than to blind..?
