From WV’s Sunday Gazette Mail<\/i><\/a> today, yet another report of vote-flipping on ES&S iVotronic touch-screen machines…<\/p>\n

Martinsburg man says machine switched Democratic vote to Republican 5 times<\/b><\/p>\n

Roger Belozier, a veteran and retired postal worker from Berkeley County, experienced problems with electronic voting machines when he went to vote early in the Martinsburg courthouse.<\/p>\n

“I reviewed my vote to make sure it was a straight Democratic ticket. But it switched my vote to Republican candidates five different times. I was able to cancel out the Republican votes.<\/p>\n

“But I am scratching my head. Why did the machine switch my votes five different times? I asked someone to come over and explain it to me,” Belozier said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“I am concerned about a lot of people who might not notice or people who might be intimidated. They have to raise their hands and ask for some help.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Every county was told by the SOS to recalibrate all touch-screen machines. This is the ES&S iVotronic machine again and it appears the voter voted straight-party, in this case, as we have warned against, but that’s not entirely clear from the article.<\/p>\n

Today’s report follows reports within the last week of votes flipping from Democratic to Republican (or other) candidates on ES&S iVotronics touch-screens in at least<\/i> two different WV counties<\/a>, and in Davidson County (Nashville), TN<\/a>. Just yesterday, there was a report of votes flipping, on the same machines, from Republican to Democratic<\/i> in Decatur County, TN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enough! We’ve called for<\/a> these machines to be immediately impounded, and taken out of service — just as the GOP called for<\/a> when Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) received similar reports of touch-screen votes flipping during his unsuccessful 2006 re-election attempt — and for paper ballots to be made available to all<\/i> voters instead. To date, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have called for the impounding\/removal of these failed voting machines. ES&S is the largest voting equipment supplier in the nation, with systems in dozens of states.<\/p>\n
