UPDATE: Georgia NAACP President Francys Johnson said the organization has received unconfirmed reports of similar problems in counties including DeKalb, Bulloch, Chatham, Dodge, Effingham and Macon-Bibb. He called Thursday for the state to post advisory notices next to voting machines encouraging voters to double-check their choices to make sure they had been properly recorded, as the NAACP in North Carolina have also requested.

ORIGINAL STORY: A voting machine in Bryan County that appeared to be “flipping” some Georgia voters’ picks for president has been removed from service, after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the problem to state elections officials.

A voter who experienced a problem while early voting contacted the AJC, saying it took three tries Tuesday on a machine at the county’s administration complex in Richmond Hill before it correctly recorded his choice of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

3. I saw the post from the DU member in NC who

experienced problems on a voting machine-- This is a real problem we all should be concerned about.

Look at what's at the end of this article:

"Many of the more than 27,000 voting machines in Georgia are at least 13 years old, and aging machines are an issue for states across the country. The state, however, regularly tests the machines, and officials said the system was ready for the election this year."

13 years old? How can voter's trust a 13 yr old machine? The people of Georgia should be speaking out about this nonsense.

6. Even if they test them...

Remember that the Government was also testing VW cars and everything looked fine. Until it came out that these cars were programmed to switch to "compliant emission mode" when the software would sense that testing was going on, and switched back to several times more emission when no testing was being sensed...

7. Machines are working fine if only switch D>R.

This only means they have been rigged.

8. Maybe Trump's ploy is just a cover

That would make way too much sense.
