ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Maryland Republicans say they continue to hear from voters complaining that voting machines are flipping their selection to candidates they didn't choose.
"We have reports from 14 counties at this point that have recorded inaccurate votes," Dirk Haire, an outside attorney for the Maryland State Republican Party, told reporters at an early voting center in Annapolis. "As of 11 o'clock this morning, the Hogan campaign received it's 50th report."
Businesman Larry Hogan is running for governor and faces Democrat Anthony Brown for the state's top leadership post.
The Maryland State Board of Elections has logged less than 20 complaints out of more than 160,000 votes cast during early voting, says Nikki Charlson, deputy state administrator with the board.
Although Haire told reporters that the "flipped" votes appear to be related to calibration issues, Charlson says there have been a total of three machines that have calibration issues, and those were taken out of service.

Calibration is done at the beginning of each day. This is not a calibration issue, this is fraud built into the programming.
Time to call this election off and have everyone vote on absentee paper ballots. It's not like they don't exist.
Guess Brown needs the help.
Somehow Dems will win this election.
Legal or not!
I read an article that stated that 62% of voters in this early election were Democrats while only 29% were Republicans. With the voting machines flipping the Republican votes to Democrat votes I guess it would look like the Democrats are the ones interested in voting.
These are programmable machines. The votes can be manipulated in ANY manner desired without anyone's knowledge.
How can that even be reliable 8:05? I'm sure they have other means of tampering as well. I think we're screwed.
is anything being done locally about this?
