I didn't find the video disturbing, so much as incredibly informative. Technology breaks sometimes. Now I know how this technology might break and can watch out for it, if I end up using that kind of machine. It's good to know how it might break and it's sort of common sense to always make sure that the name you're picking is actually the one that's checked, x-ed or punched.
Well, this little "touch screen malfunction" has been witnessed in at least five states I've read of. And in nearly every case the flip has been from Democrat to Republican. Quite an odd coincidence, no?
I heard about something similar to this several days ago, may have been this same case. It looks more like a miscalibrated touchscreen.
Anyway, it's stuff like this that keeps me requesting a mail-in paper ballot.
You should probably check out ACCURATE: A Center for Correct, Usable, Reliable, Auditable, and Transparent Elections. ACCURATE is composed of some of the best Computer Science Security experts in the country. They have a post on this, they detailed it two years ago.
OMG wtf!!! I know a lady on the Board of Directors for the Election Commission in our town. She's actually way way sweet. I hope they get all of this fixed. You have every reason to be outraged.
