5. Not on candidates position on ballot but of ballot going to wrong machine
In Ohio you have one building with more than one precinct within this building. OK now you vote, and bring your ballot up to the machine to be counted.

Within this building they have a machine counting for one precinct and a machine counting for the other precinct. Here is the dirty part. You have each of these machines set up to tally the votes differently according to the difference in ballots. When you use the wrong machine to tally the vote the machine will read it wrong thus not counting as a presidential choice. As the video points out you would have thousands upon thousands of misread ballots.

This video on Democracy Now where co-host Juan Gonzalez talks exactly about this.

Here is the Democracy Now site with the video.
