Reports now from yet another Texas county that votes are hopping from Democratic to Republican on paperless touch-screen ES&S systems during Early Voting. This time in Jefferson County…
Some of those voters including Lamar University professor, Dr. Bruce Drury, believe the problem is a programming error.
Saturday, KFDM spoke to another voter who says it’s not just happening with straight ticket voting, he says it’s happening on individual races as well, Jerry Stopher told us when he voted for a Democrat, the Republican’s name was highlighted.
…
Jefferson county clerk Carolyn Guidry says her office has checked the calibration of the machines and found no problems.
…
She says the electronic system is very sensitive.
Last night we reported similar problems as reported by a State Rep in San Antonio (Bexar County) on the same ES&S machines. As well, the problem was earlier reported occuring in Dallas.
Previous vote-hopping reports from other states (all benefitting Republicans) have so far come in from South Florida, St. Louis County, Missouri and Arkansas.
We’ve create a new Touch-Screen Vote Hopping category here so users can check all such reported incidents at a glance.
A programming error eh ?
An “error” that always goes to one party. Those of us who are not mathematically chalenged call that kind of an “error” Fraud!
Man I hope these touch screen vendors go to jail. They are messing with the very fabric of our Republic.

What happens when the vote does hop ? Are the voters allowed a paper ballot or just not counted.
It’s all over folks. The Republicans are going to “miraculously and against all odds” hold their control of the House and Senate and keep many Governor’s mansions that looked like they were at risk.
The loyal corporate media is going to shove two memes down the public throats: “Better Republican Organizing” and “Possible Democratic Fraud.” The first to “explain” the miracles and the second to attempt to difuse any resistence and to make the issue of election fraud a “both sides do it” lie rather than the truth, which is that REPUBLICANS CHEAT, STEAL, and LIE.
The blogs are going to blah, blah, blah.
The Democrats are going to? That’s the big question, what IS the Democratic Party Machine going to do? My guess? They will “save their powder” for 2008, not wanting to go up against that massive media machine that would paint them as “sore losers,” “unbstructionists,” “anti-American,” or worse. But we shall see.
A few loyal partriots are going to wear blue and stake out the Elections Offices, but it will be way too little and way too late and will just give the Republcians a chance to try out some of their “anti insurrection” laws or the Army to try out some of their new crowd control weapons.
Welcome to hell.
It may be hell, but it’s never over, Charlie.
Yeah Charlie, its not over til we’re locked up in a obscure corner of some Air Force base, don’t cha know
Can’t say I disagree Charlie. It almost looks as if they don’t even care whether we know they’re stealing it. I think they’re trying to “flush” the honest people out into the open, so they can deal with us.
Maybe this has something to do with the earths magnetic pole shifting.
Bill Maher might have hit the nail on the head last week when he conceded that maybe most people in America admire the Republican’s ability to steal the elections so effectively. Damn!
To all you trolls out there. There isn’t much money in being honest, but it really IS a good life.
Really!
Honest!
Vote hopping us set up in Microtouch control panel. Just tell machine to click one inch up and to the right. Cannot happen by accident and is not inside Diebold code. Person who appears to be fixing or calibrating can do this or can be hiding tracks by undoing.
Robin, what model of the microtouch touch screen do the machines use?
Larry #9 – I agree with Bill Maher. No one stands up to the school yard bully.
I am thankful more voices of opposition are coming out, CNN’s Broken Government was excellent, especially with conservatives voicing their concerns. That was the segment that Lynn Cheney was irritated about. Gee their own base waking up ?
Whenever it looks the bleakest it seems that voices come out of the darkness to give courage to demand our rights back. Or least make us think !
Again, this blog has been the most consistent, news worthy one around. Thank you Brad Friedman for your tireless work.

Yeah, it was great to see Lynn Cheney all upset about that series on “Broken Government”.
Your school yard bully comparison is right on target.
Meet us at the flag pole Hannity!
