StrangeSox Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) Why aren't they tested/calibrated before actual votes are cast? Seems like a no brainer. Election judges are all minimally trained volunteers? Like bmags said, this happens literally every year since machines like this have been in use. Yeah, they should be tested and calibrated first, sometimes in one of the thousands of polling places using the machines it doesn't happen, and it's pretty quickly fixed.

CrimsonWeltall Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) That usually means the touch screen isn't calibrated correctly Possibly, or people being idiots, or people lying. Here's the latest hotness in rigged voting machines that won't let you vote for Trump: http://www.infowars.com/video-machine-refu...n-pennsylvania/ Only problem is that the guy seems to be deliberately avoiding the actual selection button and instead keeps pressing Trump's name, like that's going to do anything.

When I was voting (on paper) a tech contact came and double checked both of the machines in my voting location. Nobody was using the electronic ones when I was there.

On that style of voting machine, you need to press the number in the corner, not just mash it randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
