Paper ballots encouraged.

Reports are coming in that voters may have issues with voting machines in Marion County, Ohio. Local media is reporting that Joan Stevens, a registered voter, was attempting to use a voting machine to cast her ballot for Mitt Romney when the machine kept changing her selection to Barack Obama.

Make sure it's you, and not the machine that's doing your voting.

COLUMBUS, OH (Catholic Online) - The Marion Star is reporting on the challenge faced by Joan Stevens to cast an early ballot when she used a voting machine. According to Stevens, she selected Mitt Romney and the name Barack Obama lit up. Even after repeated tries, the machine refused to allow a vote for Romney.
The matter was eventually sorted out and the machine recalibrated.

Stevens was able to vote for her candidate of choice.

According to elections officials there, it now works properly. No other anomalies are being reported at this time.

The issue at hand is the accuracy and reliability of the machines, which could become a decisive factor in next Tuesday's elections. With the election expected to be very close, a few anomalies could throw the matter into disarray.

Many voters still remember the nightmare caused in 2000 when George W. Bush defeated Al Gore by a slim margin in Florida after a recount of that state's ballots.

Concerned voters are welcome to cast traditional, paper ballots and may also vote from home using an absentee ballot. Absentee ballots can then be mailed to elections officials or may even be hand-delivered to a polling station on Election Day.

Voters across the nation are expected to use electronic voting machines across the country. Voters are advised to check their selections carefully and to review their receipts if provided. Any anomalies or difficulties should be immediately reported to elections officials.

Perhaps the safest bet for now may be to stick with a traditional paper ballot, no matter where you live.

Key give aways, the voting machine was labeled HAL 9000... and when she kept pressing the Romney button, she hear a voice from the machine: "I'm sorry, Joan, I'm afraid I can't do that..."

Why do I get the feeling this country is changing at warp speed into a banana republic? Nobody's vote will count, no matter which side of the political spectrum you are on. The hunta shall rule.

This "computer glitch" is most unfortunate--Hopefully is it simply a random problem... I just wonder how wide-spread this "computer glitch" really is.

Our economy is "in the sink," bipartisan politics almost extinct, healthcare is on the brink of Survival of the Fittest, our national morale is poor, and we have lost our moral compass as a nation as evidenced by Obama being the most PRO_ABORTION president our nation has ever had > Tragically, he has made the US one of the biggest supporters of Planned Parenthood there is.

Our national security is endangered all over the world. Watergate is nothing compared with Benghazi=Gate... President Obama knew about the Libyan attack on Benghazi, DID NOTHING to help the embassy in any way, and worse yet...witheld help to stop the terrorists, and then lied about it all to the US & the world at-large about the hold atrocity. Even the news media has been derailed by President Obama's Marxist government, more evidence of THE TRUTH FAMINE.

Enough is enough... It's time for President Obama to go...to step aside and let a REAL LEADER take charge of the US. Let's make this country great! again and bring back our old motto... "In God we trust!" ...Praying that people of conscience all across this great nation will make it a point to vote with an informed conscience! /
