Showing Original Post only (View all)North Carolina: Votes for the Democrats being flipped to Republican! [View all]
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/11/02/voting-machines-flipping-votes-for-republican-candidate-in-north-carolina/North Carolina voters are being urged to check the paper rolls that can be found next to the screen on voting machines. The warning comes after at least 14 people have reported problems with how the machines are recording their votes.
According to the News & Record, voters who have attempted to cast their votes for the Democratic candidate have found that the machine registers the vote as one cast for the republican instead.
Sixty-nine year old Percy Bostick attempted to cast his vote for democrat Kay Hagan. The machine registered Bosticks vote as having been cast for republican Thom Tillis. Bostick reported the problem to an election worker, who told him to do it again.
And again, I touched the screen at the proper place for Kay Hagan, and it again reported it for Thom Tillis.
The machine flipped his vote from Hagan to Tillis a third time. On his fourth attempt, the machine finally registered his vote for Hagan.

No doubt electrical appliances never malfunction and user error is always the culprit.
