Why aren't they tested/calibrated before actual votes are cast? Seems like a no brainer.

 

Election judges are all minimally trained volunteers? Like bmags said, this happens literally every year since machines like this have been in use. Yeah, they should be tested and calibrated first, sometimes in one of the thousands of polling places using the machines it doesn't happen, and it's pretty quickly fixed.

That usually means the touch screen isn't calibrated correctly

 

Possibly, or people being idiots, or people lying.

 

Here's the latest hotness in rigged voting machines that won't let you vote for Trump:

Only problem is that the guy seems to be deliberately avoiding the actual selection button and instead keeps pressing Trump's name, like that's going to do anything.

Earlier this year, the Rob Lowe roast turned into an

When I was voting (on paper) a tech contact came and double checked both of the machines in my voting location. Nobody was using the electronic ones when I was there.

It's because they already selected Hillary on that ballot. I'm assuming that was explained to them in a reply.

Nope, as that sarcastic keyboard response video implies, it's because they weren't hitting the spot you need to press. On that style of voting machine, you need to press the number in the corner, not just mash it randomly.

Just out according to @CNN: "Utah officials report voting machine problems across entire country"

‏@brianstelter Brian Stelter Retweeted Donald J. Trump

No. Utah officials reported machine problems across one entire COUNTY, not the entire COUNTRY.

 

I do appreciate that the responses to Trump's tweet are just openly laughing at his incompetence and not pepe bots

I have a very ominous feeling.

picture of Trump cake being wheeled into Trump Tower, Trump is going to symbolically feast on his own head tonight.

Apparently it was a gift that was attempted to be delivered and was rejected and escorted out. Poor cake boss.

He never comes in here so It's easy to mock Rowand44 by saying he has paid much more than that per beer, willingly.

I really want to bake an elaborate, yet awful-looking face cake to gift to someone.

Cash bar, thats pretty weak. They are going to need that s***.

 

Once again, that Hilton is the f***ing worst. Ever
