I just know it was on Debbie Wasserman's page. Good luck, we really need to change the voting debacle in this country.

In my town there was one machine for 7,000 people to vote and the person in front of me after 3.5 hours found it broken!

We all had to leave our votes in a box! Fort Myers Beach FL district 82!

Reports of malfunctioning machines throughout South Florida
According to NBC Miami, South Florida voting stations are beleaguered with "malfunctioning machines and broken scanners." "Voters at the location [with a broken scanner] told NBC 6 South Florida the scene was chaotic and frustrating with poll workers unprepared to handle any issues properly. They said staff didn't explain what the hold up was and many voters ended up leaving the line because they couldn't wait any longer."

The exact same thing [vote flipping] happened to me when I was voting in FL before (2004) with the machine. They did give an option to go back and check and every time I checked it said Bush...I corrected and then went thru again and that was the ONLY vote that changed. Went back at the end to check and Bush was checked again. I called a worker over, she had me go back thru again but refused to let me review saying she was sure that it was right. Now I find out that the Romney family owns one of the largest touch screen voting machine manufacturing companies in the U.S. Great...they will steal another election I guess.

NOTE: ALSO in 2000 and 2004, somehow...... somehow....voting machines weren’t delivered to African-American precincts in Ohio and Florida or unforeseen glitches prevented their ballots from counting. It’s not that the disenfranchised voters weren’t properly registered — by and large they were. But a systematic GOP campaign to keep them from voting was in place. It’s been documented by several news organizations, most notably the Miami Herald.

The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that hundreds -- "possibly thousands" -- of robocalls went out to Pinellas County residents this morning reminding them to vote "tomorrow."

The Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Office attributed the calls to "glitch" in their phone system.

Florida's former Governor Charlie Crist was campaigning for President Obama in Tampa when his wife Carole received one of the erroneous messages. Crist called the misleading calls "unbelievable."

ARIZONA & TEXAS VOTE FLIPPING

More Problems: The Lawyer's Committee has received calls from Ohio saying that voting machines in Dayton, Toledo, and Cleveland are non-functional. Some voters in Ohio complained of regular ballots being placed in provisional ballot boxes—provisional ballots are less likely to be counted. At one polling station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 300 voters were standing in line to vote because only one voting machine was working, while other polling stations were critically understaffed.

True the Vote, the Tea Party aligned group that ostensibly exists to prevent voter fraud, has allegedly committed voter fraud.

Voter ID problems in Philly: Confusion and dirty tricks. Even though a Pennsylvania court ruled that voters would not be required to show ID in this year's election, poll workers around Philadelphia and surrounding counties have been demanding ID. "There's a lot of honest misunderstanding, and maybe some not so honest," said Zack Stalberg, CEO of The Committee of Seventy election watchdog agency. An Allegheny County judge has also ordered that Republican operatives stop demanding ID from voters outside polling places.

MULTIPLE REPORTS of electronic voting machine irregularities have begun to pour in from all over the country as Americans take to the polls today.

Voters in Hamilton County Indianapolis were forced to wait for 30 minutes to begin voting because the machines were not working when the polling station opened.

The AP reports that “cards used to clear tallies from machines before voting begins were improperly programmed,” meaning that around 500 machines had to be “reset”.

The Toledo Blade reports that some 100 voters were unable to cast ballots this morning in Bedford, Ohio, because a voting machine was not working. Officials said that a memory card had to be replaced. Long lines led to people walking away.

In Dubuque, Iowa, more voters were delayed when machines failed to operate for around 45 minutes after the polling station opened.

Reports from across North Carolina, one of the key swing states, are pouring in suggesting that voting machines are flipping votes from one candidate to the other.

In Rehoboth, Massachusetts problems with voting machines were also noted. The machines officials are using are 14 years old, according to the report. Problems were also reported in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.

In Milford Township, Pennsylvania, three voting machines stopped working after just one hour of voting. After a technician got them working again, one of them broke down a second time, causing waiting voters to begin discussing their distrust of the machines and the potential for voter fraud.

In Crawford County, problems with machines were also reported. They had not been set to the correct time, so were unable to be used for a short period of time.

In Sandy Springs, Georgia, hundreds of people were delayed when voting machines went down at around 11 a.m.

In Nashville, Tennessee, technical issues with the machines were reported by many voters, while in Chattanooga, machines malfunctioned, meaning some voters had to put their ballots in the machine without them being scanned.

In Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, hundreds of voters were turned away as all of the electronic voting machines at one polling station failed to operate. Polling workers only had 50 paper ballots available. Worse still, some voters who used the machines were told that their votes would not count if they had placed them before 8am.

In Spartanburg County, South Carolina, voting machines have failed to work all day and election officials have twice run out of paper ballots.

An election worker in Oregon is facing a criminal investigation for allegedly altering multiple ballots to benefit Republican candidates. 55-year-old Deanna Swenson was “relieved of duty immediately after the alleged ballot tampering was discovered.” Swenson, who was registered as a Republican, was accused of filling in a Republican straight ticket on ballots where voters did not specify a choice. At a Monday emergency meeting, officials in Clackamas County announced that the altered ballots would not be counted. Since ballots were anonymous, disenfranchised voters would not be given a chance to re-cast their votes. Swenson has worked in elections since at least 2000, according to the Clackamas County spokesperson.

Voters in California have complained that voting machines switched their votes for Obama to Romney.

Judge rejects bid to stop new Ohio voting software. A federal judge rejected a last-minute bid to stop the Ohio Secretary of State from using new software to report the votes. Although Ohio Green Party chairman Robert Fitrakis claimed a software change implemented by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted created "imminent risk" that persons will be able to "access the recording and tabulation of votes cast by Ohio voters," the company, Election Systems & Software, Inc. (ES&S), and Husted denied the claims. The judge ruled that the "software does not count votes and has no capability to 'write' over or otherwise change election results stored in county computers tabulating the vote."
