Sequoia machines..My husband pushed NO..and YES came up 3 times

The poor old lady who was working the problem was practically in tears..He was told to hit the YES button TWICE to "clear" it and then hit NO again.. On the third try it worked..BUT that was AFTER he hit YES 6 times... A clever "backdoor" vote?? or a real correction?

Who knows..

It dod not happen when I voted, but my husband's been voting a LONG time, and I'm sure he was not "too dumb to vote"..

He was pissed and asked where those SIX yesses went..No one had any answers.. The final screen showed his true vote, but who's to say what the "card" tallied when it was read..?

This is the ONLY real issue we should be worried about.. NOTHING ELSE matters if we cannot seat the people we elect and enact the laws we vote for..

votes. I am glad for the Dem wins tonight but I don't trust these machines. I have watched my vote change in front of my eyes.

Plus, last year, in 2004 it was horrible when I worked the polls and people would ask for a verification of their vote (not an unreasonable request IMHO) and I could not give them one. How pathetic? This is America. I can go to any business and get a little piece of paper that has lots of details about my transaction...it's not rocket science. I ought to be able to get one when I vote in AMERICA.

This is a frequent problem that happens with all voting machines, a very common complaint. Basically, the screen reads where you're touching it as somewhere else on the screen.

This is just one of a zillion problems with electronic voting.

What's even more troubling is this: despite your husband's problems voting, I assume both of you managed to successfully get the computers to appear to take your vote with the votes you cast. Now let me ask you this: how do you know that the vote you entered into the computer was actually cast for the person you voted for?

Answer: you don't know.

what the outcome is tonight, of electronic voting and WHO is tabulating these votes.

Keep in mind these propositions were not redeeming in any capacity. They sought to further invalidate Californians and our rights and power as citizens.

My point is, we are not "winning" tonight. We are breaking even by defeating these measures. Could part of the strategy have been a win-win for the Schwarzenegger and the corporate interests? To 'give' us a false sense of confidence in our elections again, and to quiet voting reform by voting the propositions down?

At this point I am cynical. Primarily due to the fact that nothing has changed in who counts the votes so we continue to remain vulnerable to those who tabulate the votes.

You're so right and this would seem to be obvious, but numerous DU threads I've read treat election fraud as a peripheral issue for the back burner. They are not concerned by MSM's complete failure to even acknowledge the problem, much less investigate it, or Dem leadership's inexplicable silence on the subject in the wake of two consecutive stolen presidential elections. We're in real trouble.

and thier stubborn ignorance of the media being liberal is written in their stone heads.
The media and voting machines are prime emergencies. So many things are linked, but not like this.

They're blaming the voters again, saying the screens are 'sensitive'.

Those who count the votes decide everything...
