Make sure you hit the right button, moron

    Ehh, I'd guess user error. But I'm dubious of the idea that a machine couldn't be programmed to swap 1 out of 20 votes or whatever.

    But what strikes me as comical is what a huge, huge issue this would be if Obama votes were allegedly defaulting to a Romney choice. I bet the Dems are literally crying they didn't think of this first.

    Just about any touch-screen device can have calibration issues. You press here and the screen thinks you pressed over there. That's why it's always best to double and triple-check before you press "Cast Ballot".

    Sound advice.

    Seriously, you take the time to vote but won't spend the 3.4 second it takes to scan the ballot for accuracy?

    Still, I'd bet a huge number of people (perhaps as many as half, possibly more) don't check their ballot.

    I shouldn't have to. The government is already providing me with housing, food, transportation, internet, a cell phone, etc. They should check my ballot for me.

    I'm just saying.
