Ugh--I Had to Use a Diebold Voting Machine :(

For the first time, I had to use a machine to vote. I can now see how the Republicans have stolen elections in the past. Several times, the machine put an "x" in a different box than the one I selected. Luckily I caught it each time & corrected it, but what about people who aren't paying attention? I think the public needs to be educated about these machines. They need to pay close attention to what the machine is doing. They need to double-check their votes. I was suspicious & watched things closely, but what about other people? These voting machines are a joke. At least they have a paper-trail now.

1. Did you wash afterwards? Better light a smudge stick to purify yourself, too.

2. Sorry about your experience....you were vigilant

Actually the machines from for profit companies need to be banned from the US election process...the process has to come back into the fold of government control..
