Board Responds To Voter Complaints About Machines

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- The Maryland State Board of Elections says it has responded to some complaints from voters about voting units that displayed a candidate different than a voter's selection.

The board said Monday it has received reports that less than 20 units with touchscreens showed a different candidate than the one chosen. Early voting began last week in Maryland.

The board tested 12 of the machines, saying the issue cannot be repeated. The other units have been taken out of service.

So, if the Elections Board is blowing this off, the fix must be in at the highest levels.
Oh, what a surprise.

So what does this really mean:
(IN CAPS):

"The Maryland State Board of Elections says it has responded to some(A LOT OF) complaints from voters (REPUBLICANS) about voting units that displayed a candidate(DEMOCRAT) different than a voter's(REPUBLICAN'S) selection.

The board said Monday it has received reports that less than 20 units(19 UNITS) with touchscreens showed a different candidate(DEMOCRAT) than the one(REPUBLICAN) chosen. Early voting(HOW MANY CHANGED BALLOTS WENT UNNOTICED) began last week in Maryland.

The board tested 12(ACTUALLY TESTED ALL 19) of the machines, saying the issue cannot be repeated(THESE 12 WERE ABLE TO BE FIXED BEFORE BEING TESTED BY THE BOARD). The other (7)units (WITH HOW MANY ERRONEOUS BALLOTS ALREADY COUNTED)have been taken out of service(THESE WEREN'T ABLE TO BE FIXED BEFORE THE BOARD TESTED THEM)."

And next week when Republicans win big, we won't bring this up again.

I don't know why someone isn't going to jail over this. Are we just going to keep accepting this stuff and do nothing about it?

This effectively voids all the votes cast so far in early voting, including mine. Voting needs to start over, with paper receipts given.
