Today we have a report from Putnam Co that votes are flipping on their iVotronic machines. In every case, in both articles, the voters are voting for a Democratic candidate and their votes were being moved to the Republican candidate by the machines. <\/p>\n<p> Already turn-out is proving to be heavier than many jurisdictions have prepared for. Long lines have been reported in Nevada and New Mexico, and elsewhere, with voters having to wait for as much as two hours to vote. Luckily anyone who gave up has the time in the next two weeks to go vote early. I&#8217;m just afraid that Nov. 4 is going to find long lines at the polls and precincts ill prepared to handle the number of voters who want to exercise their right to vote&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Featured &#8211; WV: Putnam County &#8211; More W.Va. voters say machines are switching votes<br \/>\nIn six cases, Democratic votes flipped to GOP<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/wvgazette.com\/News\/200810180251\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/wvgazette.com\/News\/200810180251<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Featured &#8220;\u201c National: Tide of voters could swamp US electoral system<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/afp.google.com\/article\/ALeqM5gxI21DYJ8oKUqxQdsZFfYLYiwFVw\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/afp.google.com\/article\/ALeqM5gxI21DYJ8oKUqxQdsZFfYLYiwFVw<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Specter of voter fraud arises in election<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/arizonarepublic\/news\/articles\/2008\/10\/19\/20081019ballots1019.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/arizonarepublic\/news\/articles\/2008\/10\/19\/20081019ballots1019.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Black and white beans to voting machines: voting technologies in America <br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-1076-DC-Politics-Examiner~y2008m10d18-Black-and-white-beans-to-voting-machines-voting-technologies-in-America\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-1076-DC-Politics-Examiner~y2008m10d18-Black-and-white-beans-to-voting-machines-voting-technologies-in-America<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Voters could swamp US electoral system<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theaustralian.news.com.au\/story\/0,25197,24519278-5013948,00.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.theaustralian.news.com.au\/story\/0,25197,24519278-5013948,00.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Voting issues play out in court<br \/>\nFraud suspicion has risen sharply since 2000 race<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theleafchronicle.com\/article\/20081019\/NEWS03\/810190353\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.theleafchronicle.com\/article\/20081019\/NEWS03\/810190353<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Breaking: Head Of CA GOP Voter Registration Outfit Arrested For Registration Fraud<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=6534\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=6534<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: GOP voter registration fraud case leads to arrest<br \/>\nMark Jacoby, who was arrested in Ontario and owns a firm hired by the California Republican Party, violated state registration laws, authorities say.<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/local\/la-me-fraud20-2008oct20,0,3842357.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/local\/la-me-fraud20-2008oct20,0,3842357.story<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Voter turnout may top record<br \/>\nCounty clerks expect 90 percent or higher, thanks to mail-in option<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/politics\/ci_10756964\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/politics\/ci_10756964<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: Misstatements In Stamford Advocate<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctvoterscount.org\/?p=857\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.ctvoterscount.org\/?p=857<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: As Election Day nears, eyes will be on state &#8220;\u201d no one wants replay of 2000<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/local\/state\/orl-voteissues1908oct19,0,1999754.story\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/local\/state\/orl-voteissues1908oct19,0,1999754.story<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Backers of early voting brace for long lines from logistical snags<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palmbeachpost.com\/politics\/content\/local_news\/epaper\/2008\/10\/18\/a1a_early_voting_1019.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.palmbeachpost.com\/politics\/content\/local_news\/epaper\/2008\/10\/18\/a1a_early_voting_1019.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Florida voters can ease Election Day chaos<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/services\/newspaper\/printedition\/sunday\/opinion\/orl-healy1708oct19,0,2557144.column\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/services\/newspaper\/printedition\/sunday\/opinion\/orl-healy1708oct19,0,2557144.column<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Russ Lemmon: Election machines sit idly by in Indian River?
