(17,469 posts)with about 25+ years experience, indicates a marginal touchscreen OR a lead-fingered voter. Seriously, I have watched some people poke the screen so hard that it mis-records the "touch".
But once again, I propose the following questions:
If I am rigging a voting machine to cheat, why inform the voter by switching the vote right in front of their eyes? Why not show them what they want to see, then secretly change the vote when I record it? A machine that changes votes draws attention and is checked. If there is any question after the election, it will be audited and possibly forensically examined if the heat is high enough. If I want to rig an election, the last thing I want is a platoon or forensic computer analysts performing autopsies on the machines I tampered with.
