VoteTrustUSA - All Four Major E-Voting Machines Flip Votes in Early Voting:
"Early voting in five states showed that voters' choice are being flipped to the opposite candidate on all four major e-voting machines = Diebold TSx, Sequoia Edge, ES&S iVotronic, and Hart InterCivic eSlate.
Three counties in Texas report vote-flipping on the Diebold and ES&S machines. Three counties in Florida report vote-flipping on the ES&S and Sequoia machines. One county in Illinois, on the Sequioa Edge, and one county in Arkansas, on the ES&S iVotronic.
In some cases, when the voter selects one candidate, the machine shows an opponent is selected instead.
A South Florida voter reports:
'When I touched the one [button] for the Democratic vote, that button disappeared and the vote went to the Republican.'
And from Illinois:
'Corrine Stoker pushed the button for one candidate, but her voting machine showed she voted for the opponent.'
In other cases, the votes are reported wrong on the review screen. From Texas:
'El Paso County Attorney José Rodríguez said 16 people complained Friday that a vote cast on their touch-screen ballot was the wrong vote when they reviewed their ballots.'
And from Florida:
'He touched the screen for gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis, a Democrat, but the review screen repeatedly registered the Republican, Charlie Crist.'
Douglas Jones, a computer scientist at the University of Iowa, says he's heard similar stories from voters in several states, including one computer scientist in South Carolina who said that his attempts to vote for one candidate on the iVotronic were repeatedly changed to an opposing candidate by the time he got to the voter verification screen.'
