(1 post)And hear me out here.
I'm not one for big conspiracy theories, but I voted in Ohio at around 8 am. I posted on my twitter and FB that something was fishy as hell with the voting machine I used, complete with a picture showing what i was talking about.
I never vote straight-ticket, and I noticed right away that it would give me the "beep" saying a candidate was selected without actually selecting the candidate when I picked a non-GOP candidate. At first I thought it was just a POS machine, but when I picked a GOP candidate in a couple of local races THOSE went through just fine. So I tried to change my vote see what happened: suddenly it wouldn't keep my selection. Not a problem when I switched it back. I literally had to hit the screen 3-4 times for each democratic candidate I tried to pick. Huh, thought I, I guess I watch what it prints. EXCEPT THE BALLOT NEVER PRINTED!! The poor old guy at my election site just dismissed it as "the machines are what they are" and said i had no recourse. I reported to the local authorities who just dismissed it as an "isolated machine malfunction"
I have a photo of the blank piece of paper where mine should have been, showing the last printed ballot. All GOP, and NOT mine.
