Video- North Carolina voters say ballot cast for Romney came up Obama on machine

Just another example of our severely flawed voting system. Ugh.

GREENSBORO, N.C. –The presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County.

On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location.

One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama.

“I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis.

Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert says the problem arises every election. It can be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.

    The “elections” are bought and paid for and it has been proven! Diebold no longer exist under that name anymore for that very reason! Google and watch Hacking Democracy and you’ll see that our voting rights are a myth thanks to a corrupt government!

    These folks don’t need recalibration for their machines, they need machines that work right in the first place… Once you introduce recalibration into them, who knows what shenanigans might ensue. It invites fraud.  This election didn’t just pop up?  Why weren’t the machines checked before they were put out?  This is where the states Secretary of State, instead of trying to suppress voting, should have had all her/his attention on accuracy and making sure the state was ready for this election.  DG
