North Carolina voters report voting machines switching their votes to GOP candidate

02 Nov 2014 at 17:32 ET

Percy Bostick, 69, of Greensboro said he tried casting a vote for Democrat Kay Hagan — who is locked in a tight battle with her GOP opponent — however the machine, located in the Old Guilford County Courthouse — assigned his vote to Republican Thom Tillis.

“I called one of the poll workers over,” Bostick explained. “She said do it again. And again, I touched the screen at the proper place for Kay Hagan, and it again reported it for Thom Tillis.” According to Bostick, the machine finally recorded his vote for Hagan on the fourth attempt.

According to Guilford County elections director, Charlie Collicut, his office has received 14 reports of voting problems since early voting started Oct. 23, including seven from people who grew concerned after they got home.

Collicut urged voters to check their vote against the paper roll next to the screen to ensure that the machine properly registered their selections. He also advised voters to report any problems to poll workers immediately. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/11/north-carolina-voters-report-voting-machines-switching-their-votes-to-gop-candidate/comments/#disqus

We live in a fucking banana republic, and no one who can actually do something about it will lift a finger.

Do you seriously believe that if you're smart enough to rig a voting machine, you're not smart enough to hide the evidence?
