I'm curious about vote flipping... |
|
In all the examples I've seen of votes being flipped, they've always flipped from Democratic to Republican. ALWAYS...at least the examples I've read about.
Have there been any instances where the machines have flipped the votes from red to blue?
Not trying to start anything, just asking.

1. I haven't heard of any either. There was a situation in 2004 |
|
where the Democratic candidate was up 2-5% and lost 2-5%. Only happened with electronic voting machines and always broke for the repubs. Statistic people said this was impossible and it was used as one of the proofts the machines were fixed. Even the repubs comments by saying we should get rid of the exit polls because they were always showing for the Democrats and then the repubs would win. They said it proved the exit polls were wrong - but only in the USA>

2. Actually there were annecdotal information of votes by machine defaulting towards |
|
dems. And the exit polls were off in many races that had no voting machines...in 2004.
