I got a kick out of the comment in the article that the machines just
needed to be "calibrated".

Why does a voting machine require "calibration"?



Depends upon what kind of voting machine it is. Certainly, the old style
electromechanical lever machines needed adjust and calibration. I hate
the new electronic machines, though. Who knows which right-wing
corporation has messed with the code.


Right wing? Sounds more left wing.


The guy who found it yesterday was trying to vote for himself. Turns out
if you push the button on any of the republican names, the dem name
comes up, if you very carefully push the border of the button on the
lower right hand corner of the box (which took him several tries) it
will register correctly. The "official" didn't give a ****, didn't even
offer him to use another machine... Before you whine, I saw an interview
with the guy directly being questioned, that is where I got my tin hat
info today...
