K N R-ed Faux pas Jun 2016 #1

The orange box says "Alameda co." But that county uses paper ballots & optical scanners. pnwmom Jun 2016 #74

Computers Dont Just Malfunction billhicks76 Jun 2016 #90

Alameda county uses paper ballots and optical scanners.. pnwmom Jun 2016 #91

Its A General Comment billhicks76 Jun 2016 #92

Doesn't look like a voting center. Might be a warehouse/facility where CA's election equipment is JimDandy Jun 2016 #96

The Alameda County elections website pnwmom Jun 2016 #98

Thanks so much for that... JimDandy Jun 2016 #99

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes they do. Oh, they do. DetlefK Jun 2016 #105

Thanks billhicks76 Jun 2016 #122

They are seldom used during those years though. Maybe 200 uses twice a year every couple years. JimDandy Jun 2016 #118

Okaaay. . . . missingthebigdog Jun 2016 #2

Yep just another isolated incident just like all the other isolated incidents notadmblnd Jun 2016 #3

This helped Hillary how? missingthebigdog Jun 2016 #4

Nice. Juvenile name calling. missingthebigdog Jun 2016 #11

I didn't call you any names, wish to clarify? phazed0 Jun 2016 #15

Nope. Proud of my handle missingthebigdog Jun 2016 #18

So where did I call you a name? phazed0 Jun 2016 #19

didn't see any name calling either. PatrynXX Jun 2016 #54

Yes, that was a bad call by the jury. Well, in 8 days, at least jury calls will be appealable. JimDandy Jun 2016 #97

Who's gonna be left here in 8 days? Fuddnik Jun 2016 #116

LOL.. Yep. JimDandy Jun 2016 #119

How many isolated incidents does it take to make some seriously fucked up shit! highprincipleswork Jun 2016 #29

Are you suggesting a giant, evil conspiracy? Tortmaster Jun 2016 #93

A giant evil conspiracy indeed alain2112 Jun 2016 #95

no notadmblnd Jun 2016 #113

Perhaps they didn't all flip to Steinberg? Omaha Steve Jun 2016 #7

Perhaps none of them flipped at all. missingthebigdog Jun 2016 #13

Like butterfly ballots and chads in FL.... Omaha Steve Jun 2016 #16

You know, it really amazes me that the machines we use for voting keep getting "glitches." Scootaloo Jun 2016 #79

Yes indeed. JimDandy Jun 2016 #100

The whole video is fishy. JohnnyRingo Jun 2016 #86

Yes, lots of clues that this was fishy. And yet another one: pnwmom Jun 2016 #124

Well ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2016 #130

yes, depending on the hopemountain Jun 2016 #53

Not so fast there. OldRedneck Jun 2016 #77

are you replying to my post, specifically? hopemountain Jun 2016 #88

I don't get it either. As a previous poll worker, we were trained that if a voter brought JimDandy Jun 2016 #101

I've given up on euphemisms. They are fucking cheating. And they have been all over the country. nt GoneFishin Jun 2016 #58

I saw an anonymous video of an Alien Autopsy once, ... Tortmaster Jun 2016 #94

It's misaligned. Hillary's vote should go to Roque De La Fuente. Touchscreens shouldn't be used. w4rma Jun 2016 #5

Our election system is rigged for a reason, to support the Corporate Candidates. rhett o rick Jun 2016 #10

^^^This desmiller Jun 2016 #22

And has been for years. zeemike Jun 2016 #34

Yes, I'm exasperated by those who see it as "a Republican thing" RufusTFirefly Jun 2016 #42

well put. rhett o rick Jun 2016 #75

yes Angry Dragon Jun 2016 #59

so obvious, yet it eludes those whose bread it butters bbgrunt Jun 2016 #64

It also eludes those that choose to live in a bubble of denial. Try to pull back the curtain rhett o rick Jun 2016 #76

Yes, our voting system is working as designed. nt valerief Jun 2016 #67

Or don't care when it favors their corporate candidate. SammyWinstonJack Jun 2016 #70

The problem with that system is that the electronic vote from the scan.... jg10003 Jun 2016 #73

They use paper ballots and optical scanners in Alameda County -- the county pnwmom Jun 2016 #83

Even that system can be rigged. bvar22 Jun 2016 #123

Why do Hillary supporters scoff at election fraud? felix_numinous Jun 2016 #14

Just wait, they'll not be scoffing for long notadmblnd Jun 2016 #46

Agreed! FailureToCommunicate Jun 2016 #48

The guy was messing with it MattP Jun 2016 #17

He wasn't messing with it. Touchscreens go out of alignment, especially during heavy use. w4rma Jun 2016 #20

Sounds like the system used at my precinct but what do you mean DawgHouse Jun 2016 #25

We have a scanner that will reject ballots and allow the voter to fill in a brand new one. w4rma Jun 2016 #30

Oh, gotcha! DawgHouse Jun 2016 #32

I really like that system and can't think of a better solution. (nt) w4rma Jun 2016 #36

I agree. I like that there is a paper trail. DawgHouse Jun 2016 #37

Yeah, and each ballot inserted into the locked ballot box has to pass through a verification system. w4rma Jun 2016 #40

Buy still that scanner counts the votes. zeemike Jun 2016 #39

I'm fine with this. The paper ballots are there to be counted and to verify. w4rma Jun 2016 #41

There is no verification unless you count them by hand. zeemike Jun 2016 #69

I'm fine with this, too. That's a legal issue, not a technical issue. The ballots would be there for w4rma Jun 2016 #129

Good for your county...but the vast majority has these damned touch screens or whatever...no good. downeastdaniel Jun 2016 #28

Exactly. Those touchscreens need to go away forever. w4rma Jun 2016 #31

Trying to cast a vote is messing with it? notadmblnd Jun 2016 #47

And there you have it! kadaholo Jun 2016 #21

Gee, we've know this crap especially during 2000 and 2004 prez elections..so why not just use paper? downeastdaniel Jun 2016 #26

ROFLMAO AlbertCat Jun 2016 #43

Yes. This is a pathetic attempt at a joke. Amimnoch Jun 2016 #45

Where was this? LiberalFighter Jun 2016 #33

this really pisses me off. People stand in line for hours to cast their one single vote renate Jun 2016 #35

This is a calibration problem SmittynMo Jun 2016 #62

or defective, and I would hope they informed the poll worker, and they took the machine out of still_one Jun 2016 #84

Not saying it has been done, but it sure could be. SusanCalvin Jun 2016 #65

Yep...all of those procedures are necessary for a good election process! JimDandy Jun 2016 #104

Are people surprised by this? It's been going on since the introduction of electronic valerief Jun 2016 #66

More election fraud.... blackspade Jun 2016 #68

Good thing these machines can't be hacked, right? Rafale Jun 2016 #71

^THIS^ SusanCalvin Jun 2016 #112

Except this CA county uses paper ballots and optical scanners. pnwmom Jun 2016 #72

Do you notice how you are being ignored? Since what you are stating doesn't fit their narrative, still_one Jun 2016 #78

A lot of us Sanders supporters have the majority of the Clinton supporters on ignore JimDandy Jun 2016 #103

Makes sense. I don't put anyone on ignore, but that's just me. Thanks still_one Jun 2016 #115

I'd like to see more OldRedneck Jun 2016 #80

And the other thing that's fishy? pnwmom Jun 2016 #81

That is exactly right. What would have happened if Hillary was selected, would it select Fuente? still_one Jun 2016 #82

Yes, voters can bring their mail in ballots to their precint voting center on election day JimDandy Jun 2016 #102

The machine has more sense than the voter. Good. Gomez163 Jun 2016 #85

Hahahaha JohnnyRingo Jun 2016 #87

I agree. Also, the box of mail-in ballots says its Alameda Co, Ca. pnwmom Jun 2016 #89

Oh, for fuck's sake. This is clearly a simple technical malfunction. DetlefK Jun 2016 #106

Yeah, my old phone did this too. progressoid Jun 2016 #111

Even more amazing... JohnnyRingo Jun 2016 #126

Why is it . . . Gamecock Lefty Jun 2016 #114

This is why the corporate candidate hates caucuses. lumberjack_jeff Jun 2016 #117
