State officials have confirmed at least three reports of voting machines in two counties changing voters’ picks in Mississippi’s GOP gubernatorial primary runoff.
Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves are currently in a runoff for the Republican nomination in the governor’s race to see who will take on Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood in the November general election.

Paper ballots, with your thumbprint affixed thereunto. Index finger dipped in purple ink that takes a week to wear off. And poSoros should swing for his SOS project and other vote tampering treachery.

This should not be happening especially when we have evidence of tampering from prior elections. The democrats cry about Russia interfering in our elections, but I would put money on the possibility that the democrats are the ones tampering with the voting machines. It is obvious that they believe whatever it takes to win, they will do. Why do we even think they wouldn’t tamper with the equipment. I read an article online yesterday that said someone can hack into these machines in less than two minutes. I don’t trust the equipment and we should make a push right now to make sure that every vote is counted as it was cast.
Republicans this is an issue worth pursuing. Get off your overpaid duffs and do something about this. It’s for this kind of thing we pay your salaries. Americans want fair elections.

Back in the 2000 election, here in Florida, one democrat politician was riding around with a voting machine in his car! How brazen can you get? (This was in the Tampa papers.)

Yes, all states must go back to paper ballots. But, then we are still assuming there is no fraud taking place at the county courthouses where the ballot votes are counted. At the end of the voting day, I would suggest having each precinct closely supervise the ballot box after the lid is closed and sealed to the moment it is opened at the county courthouse and the ballots are fed into the tabulation machine.
Otherwise, there will be massive tampering next year in November. So far, the left does it because it can and with no resistance by anyone.

And spineless Repubs will stand idly by, clutching their pearls and weeping into a Fox microphone.

Voter ID. Paper ballots but... with respect to the poster above... those ballots need to be private--no thumbprint.
I've said separately that gun purchase background checks should be made as rigorous as possible.... and those background checks should be used on people registering to vote. Then issue an biometric ID to be used before you get a ballot.

Y'all know that Trump probably won the popular vote in 2016, but with illegals voting and changed votes like this story, Piaps stole the popular.
And there was more than likely chicanery in the 2018 elections. As their attempted coup was outted, the deep state and Dems will stop at nothing to ensure that Trump never wins in 2020. As someone above said, the pearl clutching Republicans and the incompetent RNC is no match for these by "any means necessary" Dems.

If permitted, take your cell and record your votes along with what the machine does. If a machine is not working as you wish it should be shut down immediately.

The issues were in a few precincts and were remedied quickly. My county moved from direct recording touch-screens to hand marked ballots scanned at the voting precinct. If there is a question, the actual ballots can be counted.

Afganistan voters sticking their thumb in purple ink to indicate that they had already voted doesn't seem so absurd now.

Let's see now just what could be wrong with California voting. Well,, maybe the fact that there are 1.7 million more registered voters than legal 18 yr old or older citizens. DUH, DUH!!

Not only thumbprints and purple ink, but NO absentee ballots unless you are on your back in a hospital and a Dr. will sign an affadavit, ONE day voting, NO electronic machines, PAPER ballots, and photo ID that matches the precinct voter roll address...maybe make it a National Holiday so no one can claim they were dis enfranchised from voting...

Didn't we spend a butt-load of money after the 2000 election to modernize our voting equipment and system? This is typical: Spend loads of taxpayers' cash and then not get it right . . . and then spend even more of the taxpayers' cash and then still not get it right. Whose buddies are getting the contracts for this sort of thing? And what pols are getting kickbacks?
I'm from Illinois. I'm cynical about all things involving the government.

our county in florida(very republican Brevard) uses a paper ballot. It is then scanned while the voter watches and if it gets rejected for an issue, it is resolved right then while the voter is there. the ballots are kept locked and results uploaded . results are reported within minutes of polls closing. I believe absentee, mail-in and early votes are tabulated as they arrive and the paper ballot is kept just like the regular ballots in case of recounts. Everything goes smoothly, no challenges, no "found ballots". but as i said, we are a republican county and have an extremely competent elections supervisor and county clerk. County commissioners, mayors, town council, school board, maybe not so much...

I wish the person with the camera had done a little more investigation. It looks like the touch screen registration is off by an inch or so. If they had touched the write in and it selected Waller then we would suspect touch screen registration. If they tested on other selections and found the same offset then a touch screen registration issue would be confirmed.
On the other hand if that one place was the only place on the touch screen and only on that page then we would confirm tampering.

Dade county submits their votes last. If necessary, the counters take the paper ballots home and shred them, just to ensure the right outcome. We need independent companies to oversee the election, processes, and count the ballots, rather than partisans.

They have known about this stuff going on for years but do the Repubs or the states Repub party do anything. Nope.. don't want to look bad to the Dems and media. God I wish we had a party Pres. Trump and we deplorables who shouldn't be allowed in polite society could count on to have our backs..
So very tired of the do nothing Party of cowards.

#1, perhaps paper ballots should be used additionally. Remember how the Obamination got into office? A Republican woman stepped into the office of another who had to resign. Community punk said 'not so fast.' He supposedly recounted. Lots of people doubted it. He substituted and added more dem votes into the pile.
Down in Florida where the governor's race was rather contentious one of the dem women who 'oversees' elections apparently had van loads of dem votes that she used to swing votes in favor of dems.
Perhaps machine and paper ballots could be used to prevent some of the abuse.

And what about me #19 ?? I’m a paramedic. That’s a 24/7 job. Also police, nurses and doctors. Do I not get to vote ? I pay taxes. I raised two sons who became U.S. Marines. I feel I have contributed to making this a better country. Don’t paint with too broad a brush.

Paper ballots, numbered, with perforated stub bearing the number of the ballot.
This way, the voter has the proof of having voted. The numbers are registered, and you can only have ballots for the number of registered voters, with a precise number of extra ballots for people who make a mistake and need --then and there-- to make corrections.
This would help prevent the Democrat ploy, when they've come up short, "Oh! lookie here! I just found a box of ballots in the trunk of my car." which if I remember right happened in several cases including when Norm Coleman lost to that pervy perv comedian.
We should be able to take with us proof of how we voted. I've heard anecdotal stories out of MA of people using voting machines which record a vote for the Dem when they had voted Rep.
Don't allow ballot questions designed to make sure certain interest groups go to the polls (like, "Shall we legalize drugs?"). Have separate voting days for ballot questions.
Do not extend voting hours OR the number of days.
Mail-in ballots will have same detachable stubs.
Stop "ballot-harvesting.

As with most issues of the day, the only thing that needs to be in place to clear it up is the willingness to do it! How could anything be so simple and seemingly so far out of reach ???

And NO results, regardless of the state, are released to the press until EVERY vote has been counted nationwide. That way, no one knows how many "extra" votes need to be "discovered" in someone's car trunk or behind toilets in the precinct bsthroom.

Even paper ballot fraud has been perpetrated by Dems. According to wnd.com (published December 8, 2016 at 5:28pm), Detroit precincts in 2016 kept running ballots as many as 6 times through the machine. Some 59% of the precincts had vote numbers they couldn't reconcile between the books and the machines. Oh, sure, they blamed the machines, scanning issues, had to rerun ballots, inadvertently forgot to reset counters, blah, blah, blah. But in reality, the vote matters little. Who counts the vote is what matters.
