Snake and AppleBy Selwyn Duke

It’s the little voting machine that could. In Guilford County, North
Carolina, some residents who cast ballots for Mitt Romney found their
votes switched to Barack Obama. Writes MyFox8.com:

[Bur-Mil Park voter] Sher Coromalis …
says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she
entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama….

Marie Haydock, who also voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location, had the same problem.

Well, ever since observing Al Gore, I knew that machines leaned
Democrat. However, a North Carolina elections official posits a
different theory. Again from MyFox8:

Guilford County Board of Elections
Director George Gilbert says the problem arises every election. It can
be resolved after the machine is re-calibrated by poll workers.

"It's not a conspiracy [sic] it's just a machine that needs to be corrected," Gilbert said.

Is it just me, or is this problem that “arises every election” one
where malfunctioning machines always seem to err in favor of Democrats?

Other questions are raised. How many people voted for Romney in
Bur-Mil Park and didn’t even notice their votes were switched? How many
of Al Gore’s other slightly less charming relatives occupy polling
stations around America?
