MO: SOS says machines haven’t counted Romney votes for Obama

ST. LOUIS — Claims of faulty machines giving votes intended for Mitt Romney to President Obama are unfounded, the Missouri Secretary of State’s office says.

The Republican National Committee sent letters to six secretaries of state, including Missouri Democrat Robin Carnahan, on Thursday expressing concern over voting machines.

In the letter, John R. Phillippe, Jr., chief counsel for the RNC, wrote that “in a significant number of cases” voting machines in these states populated votes for the wrong presidential contender, giving the tally to Obama instead of Romney.

Phillippe asked the secretaries of state to make sure all machines are calibrated and to remind voters they should ensure their choices were properly recorded before leaving the polls.

Maybe because Republicans just got caught rigging the vote in Oregon! Why isn't that getting national coverage?

Think so? Six percent of Dems are crossing over to Romney. Those are the percentages I heard or read, but I have no link.

St. Louis County voter Diana Neff told KMOV she twice tried to vote for Romney when casting an absentee ballot on an electronic voting machine last month, but the machine tried to register the vote for Obama. A poll worker reset the machine, which functioned property afterward.

A typo or the truth? Can Romney really expect a huge vote from St. Louis?
