I don't believe that. Why is it that votes always get switched to Democrat? This is not a "calibration" issue as some are claiming. Fraud, plain and simple. If the votes were being switched to Republican, I bet the el ration commission would give a shot then.

Have you ever used a poorly calibrated ATM? One that wouldn't register your touches right because of a terrible resistive touchscreen? Same sort of deal, except the state has no incentive to spend extra money to get voting machines that don't need in-depth calibration. You touch one place and the hardware tells the software you touched in another place. It's crazy but it happens. If anyone has ever miscalibrated an old pre-capacitive smartphone, like a Palm Pilot or a entry level touchscreen phone right when mobile internet came out you know exactly what I'm talking about. Now imagine that these voting machines are being built by the lowest bidder with crappy components, then calibrated by potentially braindead election judge zombies (if they're calibrated at all). I bet it's happening to Democrats as much as it's happening to Republicans, we're just upset because we have more reason to suspect a conspiracy and therefore when we have issues it makes the news.
Not necessarily. If you don't pick up on the change on the review screen and hit submit, then you voted for the wrong person and it is a valid vote.
Are all of the complaints about the vote being selected for the D at the time the screen is pressed or are there instances of the vote changing at the review screen?
If I was programming the machine and if I was trying to rig an election I wouldn't alter any votes until the time between when the user hits the final select button and when it goes into whatever database or however they store the vote. The last thing anyone would ever do is let the user know that the machine isn't working as they expect it to.
