Understood, not necessarily fraud, but understand this: "****ing morons" are allowed to vote and are entitled to have their votes be counted properly. The burden of the government to conduct elections with absolute certainty as to the intent of the voter is very high and this fell unacceptably short.The way I'm reading this, you'd have to be a ****ing moron to NOT notice you voted for X and got Y. So if you see that and don't report it...I'm not understanding how you can blame anyone else?
Obviously the machine shouldn't do that and clearly it's not just a "calibration" error, but that's very different than changing the votes on the back-end where you CAN'T see it. If you saw it and let it go through, then I have nothing to say.
THAT is real fraud.
Isn't this considered a normal operation in Chicago?

The Dems claim that voter identification laws discourage "minority" voters. I argue that incidents like this, combined with undocumented voters, multiple voters, dead voters, bought voters, etc. discourage conservative voters who think that their vote won't count after all of this fraud. When the government ignores the limits of the COTUS and the citizens do not feel accurately represented by the politicians nor can they believe that the election process is fair, accurate or honest; we see how far the libtards have undermined our country.
So I actually agree with most of the sentiment you've posted, but having worked with touch screens before, I can tell you that calibration of the touch screen (or a lack thereof) could actually lead to this. What it sounds like happened here is that touch screen was miscalibrated such that when you hit one spot, it was registering hitting a spot a certain distance in a given direction (e.g. 3 inches to the right). If that's the case, it's simply a sensor issue and wouldn't be specific to candidates, positions, or parties. I'm making some assumptions there as the article is quite light on details.
But I think you're absolutely right that a touch screen sensor glitch isn't really the issue. Rather, the issue is how trivial any level of fraud becomes once you move to electronic voting of any kind. At the very least, all of these voting machines should be fully and openly documented (complete electrical and mechanical schematics and full source code for all firmware/software available to all) and made available for some sort of inspection by any party with standing (voters, candidates, parties, etc). If all that just sounds like too much effort, then my honest opinion is let's go back to paper ballots. These things are a nightmare for free and open elections.

Voter identification laws discourage? I'll bet everyone of them have a welfare ID card.
