Vegas Mayoral Candidate Sees Own Vote Flipped to Opponent on Touch-screen Voting Machine   Updated at 11:56 PM
   


Las Vegas Mayoral Candidate Sees Own Vote Flipped to Opponent on Touch-screen Voting Machine

It took two tries, but Carolyn Goodman, candidate for Mayor of Las Vegas, and wife of current Mayor Oscar Goodman, was finally able to vote for herself today on Nevada's illegally-certified, 100% unverifiable Sequoia AVC Edge touch-screen voting machines. At least she thinks she did. Whether her vote will actually be counted for her is something that nobody can ever know...

    When Goodman pushed the button next to her name on a voting machine at the Public Administration Building downtown, (Chris) Giunchigliani's name popped up.

    "I touched my name and strangely ended up with my opponent," a visibly worried Goodman said from her voting booth.

    She pushed the button a second time and successfully voted for herself.

    "I think it's the finger nails," Goodman said afterward. "Obviously, I'm voting for myself."

    Goodman said she heard of similar problems taking place at polling places Friday, the last day of early voting.


No, it ain't the fingernails, Carolyn. It's the machines.

As we revealed in our investigative exposé in the 2008 book Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy, 2000-2008, and summarized in our article on the Reid/Angle election for U.S. Senator just before Election Day last year, Nevada's Sequoia touch-screen voting machines were illegally certified in 2004 by then NV Secretary of State, now NV's recently-appointed (to take the place of disgraced Sen. John Ensign) Republican U.S. Senator Dean Heller.

The failure that Goodman had, and noticed, is just the latest in a string of celebs and candidates who have had similar problems with 100% unverifiable voting machines --- as still used by some 20 to 30% of voters in the U.S. --- either flipping their vote, or not allowing them to vote at all. From Oprah's lost vote in 2008, to the conservative Supreme Court candidate in TX who received ZERO votes in an entire county in 2006, everything old is new again tonight in Sin City…

No one at DU complained when votes were flipped to go to Reid last year.

Um, well...not "everyone".

There wasn't a peep about vote fraud from 2008 until 2010.
Kind of like how the anti war people have been quiet since 2009.

17. As Vegas resident, I don't believe Carolyn, she's an idiot...
   
While I think most electronic machines can be manipulated, Carolyn has the IQ of table salt...she has no clue what she did or didn't do.

She is a donk so my money is on she didn't do it right.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'll have to wait and see what TIA has to say about this.   The last I heard he had Obama actually winning by about 300 to 750 Billion votes.
25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.

132.6 million votes cast

1/2 = 66,300,000 + 30 million = 96.3 million

So Obama got 96.3 million out of 132.6 or ~80%




golly!

So you're saying that she's possibly a member of DU?

If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

Funny, last time I checked, Las Vegas and Clark County government officials were chock-full of Democrats!

Doesn't the Secretary of State usually manage elections?  The guy is a Democrat.

Yes , and George Soros poured tons of money into getting Dem SofS elected a couple of years ago.  He wanted election fraud to come from their side.

I'd say he actually got zero.
I don't know a single person who voted for him.

So anyway, she pressed one name and the other name popped up.

If this actually were happening, someone would've caught it on a cellphone camera video and it would've been all over the MSM.  The very fact that it can only be found on website like DU and "Bradblog" proves it's a bunch of b.s.
