I'm concerned with these voting problems down south (NC?) Do
we have people on this, will voters get a "do over" if the voting machines switched from D to R? This is disconcerting. Also, everyone needs to be advised about that no voting straight ticket and pay attention to it. I hate this stuff.

2. Ah, okay. Still, if the damned machines are not working than paper
ballots should be made available. I will assume these people were given provisionals.

4. I didn't read that they did get provisional ballots
which are often counted as carefully as touch screen votes.

I'm calling around on Monday to see who is on this case. It's RIDICULOUS already!

5. People voting D and it switches over to R. On the touchscreens
you cannot vote D straight ticket, President is a separate hit. Problem I'm told is on the touchscreens only. I wish they'd bring the paper ballot only back. These touchscreens are horrid. Glad I voted Absentee already.

7. 2/3rd of NC are on paper (scanned) ballots.
Unfortunately counties like Guilford (Greensboro) and Mecklenburg (Charlotte) are using DREs.

Mark.
