there are many documented cases of vote flipping. they are not always debunked by snopes. I don't know where you get your information. this is not doctored. there are two cuts in the video but if you look at it closely, they occur after he hits the Obama button, when he is clearing the choice, NOT when he hits the button. there are no cuts when he hits the button and the audible beep takes place simultaneously as the choice is shown.

I would like to see if clicking Jill Stein results in an Obama check mark.

But why do these badly calibrated screens seem to only show up on election day? The screens are calibrated fine on the iPad or when ordering food at Wawa, but voting machines don't work.

I'd love one to dispense me $1000 when I only asked for $100. And only debit me for $100.

If they can do correct calibration on ATM's, you can bet the bank they could do correct calibration on voting machines,

Tabulating the vote in the background with a change would be more inconspicuous.

It is what you don't see that is my fear.
