The comments are great!

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ)—Early voting just started last week in Maryland, but there are already accusations that some voting machines are changing Republican votes to Democrat. Now Republicans are calling for an investigation by the State Board of Elections. Meghan McCorkell has more on the machine controversy. As Marylanders go to the polls, there are concerns that the vote you cast may not be for the candidate you want. “We’ve heard from scores of citizens in our district and around the state who have had this problem where they hit one button to vote for one person, and when they go to the summary they see that the other person was checked,” said Del Nik Kipke, (R) Anne Arundel County.

if this was a case of election fraud.
I wonder what kind of hacker/individual, would bother to tamper with the machines just enough to change votes, but not enough to be subtle about it, and hide it.

really this is sounding like the ballot-chad thing from 2000 all over again..

It has been proven to be true in other places, like Chicago.

Hard to lose when you rig the election. Very low risk as you can claim it was miscalibration and accidental.
