Reply #21: Still not convinced there is a systematic bias in the machines

[slackmaster]

If a Republican observed his or her vote switching to the Democratic candidate, would he or she report that to Mark Crispin Miller? No, I think that person would probably go to the RNC or a Republican member of Congress.

If a DUer had that happen, would it get posted on DU? (What DUer is going to admit trying to vote for a Republican?)

We're supposed to believe that it's a random occurrance.

When you look only at reports from a non-random audience, you're not likely to get a complete picture.

Would anyone like to go read freerepublic.com to see if there are any complaints of Republican votes getting switched to Democratic?

If someone found such a complaint on FR, how many DUers would believe it?

The reports I'm seeing are pretty vague. As a long-time computer systems administrator I can assure you that people do sometimes make mistakes and blame it on machines.
