From the Charleston Gazette:
WINFIELD, W.Va. -- Three Putnam County voters say electronic voting machines changed their votes from Democrats to Republicans when they cast early ballots last week.
This is the second West Virginia county where voters have reported this problem. Last week, three voters in Jackson County told The Charleston Gazette their electronic vote for "Barack Obama" kept flipping to "John McCain".
In both counties, Republicans are responsible for overseeing elections.
Gosh, looks like this election might be more "close" than the polls are telling us.
Shelba Ketchum, a 69-year-old nurse retired from Thomas Memorial Hospital, described what happened Friday at the Putnam County Courthouse in Winfield.
"I pushed buttons and they all came up Republican," she said. "I hit Obama and it switched to McCain. I am really concerned about that. If McCain wins, there was something wrong with the machines.
"I asked them for a printout of my votes," Ketchum said. "But they said it was in the machine and I could not get it. I did not feel right when I left the courthouse. My son felt the same way.
Are the Republicans running the elections concerned about this? Oh gosh no. It's obviously the fault of the VOTERS:
They also blamed voters for not being more careful.
I know, this is pure tinfoil stuff and it doesn't even matter anyway, because Obama has such a big lead we're gonna kick serious butt no matter HOW much the Republicans cheat! Right? Right! </snark>
I love how nobody wants to notice this or talk about it until it's actually happening and it's too late to do anything about it.
Can someone tell me again WHY we're having these machines ANYWHERE?
How many of these people's votes will be stolen for McCain?
UPDATE with call to action from DawnT:
Can you add this call to action? (36+ / 0-)
We cannot afford to do nothing. Would you mind posting this phone number for the WV SOS office for voters in WV: (877) FRAUD-WV
Also, we should all take a moment to write to the WV SOS to let them know how outraged we are to hear about these problems: wvsos@wvsos.com
Thanks!
