Sorry to be a nuciance. . but I am interested in the Gubernatorial election today.. in West Virginia.. and saw this flipping..machines . While I'm here..just wanted to ask all Conservatives...there are a few hours left to vote.. I would ask any one who know's someone in West Virginia.. to call them and let them know how important this race is to them and America!..If they are still registered all they need is an electric bill and drivers license..!
You know?.. If those machines were flipping .. they pretty much would do it to every one until it is recalibrated.. And only a few noticed it and reported it..Did I do that..?.. just click the one I wanted and ...assumed?..And am I right?.. about the flipping unRtill .. the.. machine ..is.. Recalibrated?..Common sense says it would.. so why not their more complaints.......!
I think Harry Reid's election should be scrutinized.. as well as Boxer's and Polosi's and a few others..But Reid .. I just do not know..how he was relected with the job rate in Las Vegas other than Sterns Service Union workers! They could be jobless..but they are after another agenda!.. Altho it is... too late for a new election.. but in elections up and to the 2012 .. should at least be watching and listenening for any complaints..in this part... with voting machines flipping!
In the UK and the rest of the world, you should know that we DONT USE machines.
We hand count every paper ballot. The same everywhere in the world, apart from the land of the so called free.
You are being controlled. And I think its time, for your childrens sakes, that you become a democracy again. Get monitoring the next election, as you may not have another chance!
So wait Obama didnt win because basically every black person and some white people voted for him but because the Machines were tampered with? OMG SOOOO SHOCKED!!!!
@StfuNoobx Voter faud, rigging elections and other dirty tricks are simply the way dems operate.
Did you all know underhanded tactics is the way Obama won his senate seat when he was in the seenate. He managed to get ALL the other candidates thrown off the ballot and challenged some voter registrations.

@Checkerholic I understand you, and i agree completely.
My question is just how are the Democrats getting away with this fraud, forgery, CHEATING. When there is so much evidence and even videos of them getting caught red-handed. If a Rep. does anything wrong the media will jump on it and spread the news quick, But a dem does something but its never told or the DEM gets away with it, but wait i take that back because the media got on Clinton as soon as the BJ was in progess.. poor Clinton.
I wish I had a definitive answer to that for you. In the last 15 years or so many of our elected officials have started leaning toward a socialist idealology. That means they are going to turn a blind eye toward these dirty deeds. The news media is largely controlled by those on the left and therefore view these things as a non event. In the last election socialist Harry Reid had his name already checked in the Nevada ballots. That story was very quickly buried by the liberal media.
Touch screens are a lot better than they used to be. You used to have to 'calibrate' them periodically. But that scene where the machine checked the Republican box correctly and then checked Ralph Nader - that had nothing to do with touch screen calibration - that had everything to do with making McCain lose a vote. Is it starting to become clear why we have an anti-American in the White House?
This looks too easy to rig. If they brought that crap to Australia, every machine in the country would be smashed into bits an hour after polling started. How did you allow them to do this?
Ballot papers have been working fine for hundreds of years; if a system works - stick with it.
I work with many different touchscreen PCs everyday at work, and Ive never had this happen. I'm sorry but touchscreen technology isn't exactly new and I'm pretty sure they have this figured out how to make these. That calibration shit is BS.
I hate when touchscreens are out of calibration. Because this happens all the time on iPhones, Androids, etc., right? You tap on one thing and something totally different gets selected.

@onebluenine I found just such an ATM machine, last night in the River Oaks Mall in Calumet City, Illinois which when a selection was made, gave me the selection below it which indicates a need for recalibration of this Bank of America ATM, and which reminded me of a similar experience when early voting in October, 2010, where a Selection for Pat Quinn as Governor, yielded a lower y value of Bill Brady for the same office, until I corrected it, as I had to do with the Bank ATM.
You guys have to watch the full interview to get the context of the video. This was an excerpt of when this guy intentionally did not calibrate the machine to show what would happen if an uncalibrated machine was used. The machines are calibrated by the poll workers. To assume that the voting machines behave in a manner that changes votes would be taking the video out of the context of the interview and would be a wrongful conclusion.
I despise Obama and believe him to be nothing but a fraud, however, in all fairness:
This particular machine is out of calibration to the bottom side, however, couldn't it have just as easy been out of calibration to the top side making it appear as an Obama vote?
Just a thought... From a "tea bag'n, right wing extremist"!
Haha what a pos machine, I can build a better one out of my back yard... what a pos.
The elections are going to be completely rigged again just like with Florida but now wherever these machines are.
what are you going to do when all the old farts go to vote? they will just sit there pushing random buttons voting all over the place... and everyone else will just become annoyed bash the machine in let it vote for whoever it wants and leave.
They should have paper votes combined with machine
OMFG! Touch screens work just fine in restaurants, schools, DMVs, ATMs, job testings, arcades, etc. Why are any governments paying for a crap-ass machine that won't do what it is actually supposed to do. FRAUD!!!!! (I love how it DID vote for Republicans. Typical.)
even with paper ballots and an honest result it does not make a difference the fat cats rule and they are unelected, people have got to stop looking at right and left as two seperate parties they are just two puppies trying to please their master and get the largest bone,and sit upfront in the truck, look to the money and whoever controls it is the true masters. you all know who they are. begins with a B
@AgentxAnonymous You don't get it. Obama or McCain, doesn't matter, either candidate can win by "out of Calibration" machines or hackers. It's not propaganda. One side or the other, we need to be certain our votes are being counted correctly.
AgentxAnonymous & above: Assuming you vote on a touch screen machine manufactured by Diebold and/or ES&S (and most of us do), there are a number of things you need to know. 1) their hard drives are programmed by those PRIVATE corporations, which you & I are not allowed by law to examine. 2) the corporations COUNT the votes on their private hard drives & 3) they do not provide a paper record that proves your vote & what the machine's hard drive SAYS your vote was, are one and the same.
VendaWV. com is a free, local community-based classifieds site which provides free classified ads posting service for West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky & Virginia.
Deibold is owned by US Bancorp (Federal Reserve Member bank). US Bancorp also owns US Bank, and has recently purchased dozens of failed small US banks.
Entharion, you are correct that paper can be messed with. This is West Virginia, anything goes! I was just commenting on hacking the computer. out....
@omaxpi Agreed, elections are rigged: the 2000 and 2004 elections weren't even cleverly hidden in their theft of the White House. But I think the 2008 election went to the man that actually won it. The usual Republican crooks just couldn't stomach a Palin presidency.
What difference does it make when bith parties are the same on most policies and tread on the Constitution. Here's an idea... used color paper for the two parties red and blue. Use white for all independants and other parties. Since less than 60% of voters actually vote... you still end up with sucky choices in the end for both parties.
Those machines are unreliable & unpopular, why do we still use them? Voting machines shouldn't require calibration, just get rid of the touchscreen & make simple buttons. Most people with a basic knowledge of electronics &/or mechanics could probably put together a more reliable machine.
without paper ballots, well never know the truth about our elections anymore. Theres way to much corruption in the stuggle for power.
its all too easy to right software and alter the votes, and know one would ever know.
there were counties in the primaries were ron paul recieved 0 votes, yet people in those counties had voted for him. case all over the place with different candidates. theses days the media can pretty much get anybody in, doesnt matter rep or dem. everything gets worse
first of all.. all the machines should be ready..not "uncalibrated" so yes it is corruption. and like onebluenine said.. ATM machines are touchscreen.. and not one that i have used in the pass yrs has given me a different option than the one i wanted
It's funny you mention that, because all the ATMs in my area are made by Diebold, & for some odd reason they never seem to be uncalibrated. Just good luck I suppose.
@crazycrackergabe What is your point? I think onebluenine was pointing out that it is not difficult to make a touch screen that works accurately every time. To make a machine that can so easily be "out of calibration" seems like design, not accident. Crooks!
Rip the "machine" out of the wall, BEAT the Diebold CEO over the head with it until he has a VERY severe headache, then hurl the machine into a dumpster.....and RETURN TO PAPER BALLETS WITH RECEIPTS!!
having worked with touch screen technology for years, calibration is needed and required. POS registers are a different animal compared to a voting machine. I would also think that county clerks are more interested in doing a professional job, regardless of their party. why not get involved in your local poling precinct instead of this piling on mentality. Being a cash register operator hardly qualifies anyone as a voting machine expert. Does working at McD's make you nutrition expert? hardly.
Touch screens actually do require calibration between the touch sensors and the display (so people see buttons in the same place the machine does). Go into any Panera store and talk to a manager on how they calibrate the register screens. Working there for two years I had to calibrate a register maybe five times. In two years. This guy had to calibrate his machine twice inside a few minutes.
THAT is what I take issue with, that a cash register has a better track record than a voting machine.
Did you hear three independent forgery experts confirm Barack Hussein Obama "Hawaii" Certificate of Birth is a FAKE? If just one of the several Supreme Court Cases by Presidential Candidate's, Attorneys, or citizens' get heard or Obama doesn't show his REAL birth certificate by December 1st he can go up to three years to Federal Prison. I Love The U.S. Constitution and Freedom...
Did you know: The county clerk of Jackson County, WV is a registered Republican Jeff Waybright. It is kinda of funny that the machine is flipping from Democrat to Republican. Beneficial wouldnt you say!? Moving on do you think that the County Clerk should be involved in the voting process during his/her reelection? I'm thinking that brings alot of controversy? I think we might need to recalibrate that. Whats your thoughts?
a) you can almost eliminate that error through education. b) the problem isn't that substantial. c) most elections aren't that close. d) it's probably at least 2 and probably up to 4 orders of magnitude cheaper to administer a punchcard election. cost benefit wise, a no brainer. it's as if god created punchcards specifically FOR voting. it is more private than a screen too.
Voteing on touch pad machines should be outlawed. Everything should be done on a piece of paper, with a pen, and a check box. And every vote should be counted by hand.
What I don't understand is why can't a simple machine recognize a check mark and tabulate. We send people to the moon, lay underwater sea cables, configure wi-fi at McDonalds and can't make a simple machine add up calculations from only 11 or 12 different choices? That's a darn shame!
BTW, I video'd my vote.... click on my name to see it...
The difference between the Rovian republican and the Obama group is that there is more inclusion for our national identity to embrace with Obama. Our nations has been rife with Rovian, Rush, hard right thinking. They have hijacked the republican format and I'm glad, eventhough I'm a registered republican, they lost big. McCain is a fine Senator who went along with the awful, contorted appeals to the lowest in human nature, alla Rovianspeek. The vote protection this time made the difference.
The leadrship represented by McCain is brut force, that promotes adversaries, and more military actions. While I am a republican and always respected McCain, his win at all costs kind of force for the last few weeks revealed an alliance with the neocons who seem to have no faith in winning with the awsome power of thoughtful, persistant actions. The hard right want WAR, WAR, WAR. Wheater because it will bring on second coming or because it keeps everyone edgey and yet provides huge profits.
Thanks for the dialogue. The differences between Obama and McCain can not be qualified by a voting record perse, its hard from anyone not able to see whole bills, and having a complete explanation for their impact. What is clear about the differneces between these men is a resounding representaion of whole hearted commitment to use the best skills to approach our collective potential. Obama reprsents adult connection to anger rather than a reacting in ways that creat seperation, and enemies.
Gee, it's funny that according to yahoo "news" I now know that the "world's ulgiest dog" died today, but I have never seen Yahoo make a mention of any senator voting on a bill.
Come to think of it, I've never seen any "news" cover a bill being passed into law.
it is not! it is better, but it is NOT the only right way. poeple who count the thousends of papers can also do mistakes. BUT there could be also poeple who do the mistakes to trick the election, and noone will notice this! So do not say, that voting with paper is the only right way, since cheating here is also possible at counting.
Wow. That sounds like so much more work than marking an X on a piece of paper. Either you put the X or you don't and if you don't well then it doesn't count. Amazing how simple that is.
Obama won because issues like this were attended to through constant inclusion of over 1.5 million volunteers including election attorney's. It took every bit of really hard work and excellent organisation for a man far more gracious, intelectually capable, and emotionally generous person to be seen over a couple who's true leadership is skills can fit inside a coffee cup with room for cream.
Name 3 bills on which Barak Obama and John McCain voted on DIFFERENTLY that you think most highlights their differences in leadership.
We get our leaders because they have nice hair and speak purty because voters are uneducated fools that don't do an ounce of research to find out who they support actually has done or will do.
Don't tell me what I can or can't do. You're using a fallacy to counter my argument. I'll tell you one thing I can do, that is to see through tactics that try and make inductive arguments weak with fallacies through unrelated claims.
The simple stuff...
Obama's central campaigning tactic, positive. Mccain's, Negative.
Obama way more organized, Mccain disorganized (example: fighting in his own party).
Who cares? Apparently you did till the question was answered...
No one would ever support everything if anything that a Politician supports.
There were two main choices in this election and you are saying that Americans voted ignorantly. I don't see the conclusion in your argument, as you said they elected black mccain? So what they were supposed to elect white Mccain? They could of also had wasted our votes on independents who we all know wouldn't win.
You fuckers don't even know what the candidates supported much less what their voting record is, and you think you are in a Democracy?
TELEVISION tells you who to vote for, and tells you who the "serious" candidates are, and like dogs, you obey.
There is no relevant difference between Obama and McCain or Clint or Giuliani - which is why the media says they were the "serious" choices available to you.
I don't really care who the other candidates were they didn't seem to want to win much if they didn't advertise.
Well Nader was on tv once or twice and so did Barr appear once or twice, the others I saw on tyt radio/video news. They had nothing interesting to say and they didn't seem to want to push the system either to get a place as a noticeable candidate.
In races no one cares about those in 3rd or 4th place, we only look at those in the 1st or 2nd so the others have to pick up the pace.
You need to think business ethics... the media is running a business. This business runs a few statistics on peoples interests to see which candidate should get the most coverage.
That's how they obtain their personal benefits.
Ironically you have two candidates C1 who is unique in race and the C2 is a candidate that attacks C1. Everybody is interested in C1 so he automaticaly gets attention, C2 gets attention rubbed off attacking C1.
So we decided for the media to let them cover those two.
Oh btw I don't know why you posted the avg age of a TV viewer... And you do know that young viewers will probably learn their news from the computer right? Which would explain the gradual increase in average age over the years.
television isnt dying if it died us intelligent people who dont get their news from the television actually does because these uploaded clips are from the television however it separates the propaganda from the useless or sometimes important information for us "intelligent viewers" who can't seem to separate it ourselves. oh and if television died then our ability the view such things die as well. just wanted to point this out
okay so the things that are uploaded are from......not television..........its from..........other..people on the internet..who get it from..other..people?
I'm not saying television isn't uploaded commonly.
I'm saying television is dying.
It's really quite simple, either the people who run television produce something people actually want, or they go out of business and surprise surprise, the entire population doesn't want to hear about Jon Benet Ramsey or OJ Simpson...
You wish, man. TV gets more and more popular every year. Sales continue to climb, and more channels are added everyday. Just because people dont like the "news" they get, doesnt mean they are walking away in "droves." That's a wild exaggeration.
News is one thing. I am talking about TV in general. You can not dispute that it's popularity is increasing. I for one don't rely on it for news either. But, Im not going to sit here and pretend like it's a dying technology just because it's pissing certain people off. Relax. Does it really feel like television is made to inform anymore? No. And Im sure we can agree on that. But.. sadly.. it's getting more and more popular. And again.. not talking about the news-watcher demographics.
What you're using right now is completely replace it. On demand media is killing it now. The only reason old people still use a television is they don't know how to use the net.
This is really starting to sound like your personal opinion. I can find literally no evidence that Television has lost it's popularity. Outside of news demos. TV is NOT a dying technology. I don't get how you can honestly say that.
This is why the average age of television viewers is going up - the younger generations do not watch it. They use the internet instead and this isn't just in the US it's happening.
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, with a first-class [Arabic] accent.
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah..."
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This statement expresses a Muslims complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.
No, so that the machine will actually work. and I can be assured that there isnt any funny business going on. We live in a digital age, and whatever company made this hunk of sh*t is affecting america's trust in technology!
Even though they edited the video down. If you watch the whole thing it works just fine.
Besides last time someone got a hold of the source code what was the first thing that was done when it was turned over? The made a virus to prove how weak it was. Congrads for them because its not like anybody hasn't made a virus for a computer program. There is nor ever has been any "funny business" nor any proof of it. And even with everyone complaining Obama won.
Anything that uses any sort of touch screen or mouse emulation in some cases, must be calibrated to work properly. He tells the truth. Ever played a ds out of calibration or used smart board at school that wasn't calibrated properly? Thats what happens. Simple fix, it wouldn't be as much of a problem, if people would just refuse to leave without voting for their preferred candidate.
its a strong reminder to us that the price of freedom is constant, kindly, thoughtfullness in participation is everyone allowing, creating and promoting a more perfect Union.
The problem has to do with the touch screen technology. you touch a point on the screen and it has to register on the computer somewhere. If it registers in the wrong place, each touch screen should have a way to re-calibrate, so that it will register your touch in the right place. Only that he calibrates it, says it's functioning, and then it still screws up...oops. Or you could just realize that if it registers 4 inches down, then click four inches higher.
or they could just have a keyboard and have people type the name, although that may not be as "user friendly," how about a mouse or trackwheel?
Better yet, the hell with voting machines. They should go back to paper. I don't think there should be any chance of mechanical error for something as critical as voting for the next president.
You're right, but you do have to calibrate the communication between the touch screen and the software.
The simplicity of the machine lies in it's few options of choice. The touch screen is actually a fairly high-tech device and definitely needs to be calibrated properly or things like this will happen.
Anyone hear about 1) the man who invented the validating paper trail machine"TrueVote". He had a "horrible accident" 6 mos after patenting his machine. And to
fortunately, i didnt have to deal with any voting machines this morning, but anyone who does might as well be prepared to walk into the polls bent over. everyone says we live in a democracy but in the end, it all boils down to one person counting the votes. it's alot easier to press a few buttons and change thousands of votes than it is for someone with a bottle of white out to do the same.
Wait a minute, the touch screen on my phone can register just fine but a machine that costs thousands more can't? Yeah, who is fooling who?

having worked with touch screen technology for years, calibration is needed and required. POS registers are a different animal compared to a voting machine. I would also think that county clerks are more interested in doing a professional job, regardless of their party. why not get involved in your local poling precinct instead of this piling on mentality. Being a cash register operator hardly qualifies anyone as a voting machine expert. Does working at McD's make you nutrition expert? hardly.

Touch screens actually do require calibration between the touch sensors and the display (so people see buttons in the same place the machine does). Go into any Panera store and talk to a manager on how they calibrate the register screens. Working there for two years I had to calibrate a register maybe five times. In two years. This guy had to calibrate his machine twice inside a few minutes.
THAT is what I take issue with, that a cash register has a better track record than a voting machine.

The difference between the Rovian republican and the Obama group is that there is more inclusion for our national identity to embrace with Obama. Our nations has been rife with Rovian, Rush, hard right thinking. They have hijacked the republican format and I'm glad, eventhough I'm a registered republican, they lost big. McCain is a fine Senator who went along with the awful, contorted appeals to the lowest in human nature, alla Rovianspeek. The vote protection this time made the difference.

The leadrship represented by McCain is brut force, that promotes adversaries, and more military actions. While I am a republican and always respected McCain, his win at all costs kind of force for the last few weeks revealed an alliance with the neocons who seem to have no faith in winning with the awsome power of thoughtful, persistant actions. The hard right want WAR, WAR, WAR. Wheater because it will bring on second coming or because it keeps everyone edgey and yet provides huge profits.

Thanks for the dialogue. The differences between Obama and McCain can not be qualified by a voting record perse, its hard from anyone not able to see whole bills, and having a complete explanation for their impact. What is clear about the differneces between these men is a resounding representaion of whole hearted commitment to use the best skills to approach our collective potential.

The problem has to do with the touch screen technology. you touch a point on the screen and it has to register on the computer somewhere. If it registers in the wrong place, each touch screen should have a way to re-calibrate, so that it will register your touch in the right place. Only that he calibrates it, says it's functioning, and then it still screws up...oops. Or you could just realize that if it registers 4 inches down, then click four inches higher.

It's True ! ALL Obama and McCain Voted have been reprogramed to switch to NADER.
So, If you want to vote for McCain or Obama, Vote NADER!
You'll have Peace - and a clean conscience
Not MORE WAR.
