After Moynihan voted for several races on this machine, Republican, of course, he continued to see that the machine continued to vote Democratic.
While using a touch screen voting machine in Schaumburg, Moynihan voted for several races on the ballot, only to find that whenever he voted for a Republican candidate, the machine registered the vote for a Democrat in the same race. He notified the election judge at his polling place and demonstrated that it continued to cast a vote for the opposing candidate’s party. Moynihan was eventually allowed to vote for Republican candidates, including his own race. It is unknown if the machine in question (#008958) has been removed from service or is still in operation.
“Clearly, I am concerned that citizens will be unable to vote for the candidate of their choice, especially if they are in a hurry and do not double check their ballot,” added Moynihan. “I cannot say whether or not this was intentional, but Cook County voters deserve better and should not have their right to vote suppressed.”
The 56th District covers portions of Schaumburg, Bartlett, Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates, Hanover Park, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, and Roselle.

Our voting system is ripe for fraud. Back in 2001 Clint Curtis, a computer programmer and ex-NASA employee, testified at a Senate hearing that he had created a computer program to rig an election for Republican Congressman Tom Feeney through his employer Yang Enterprises.
and what’s being done about this?
Voter ID is the only way! We can’t have all this corruption like dead people voting or machines that are doing this.
typical Chicago political corruption!
at least they got caught this; I hope; people really look at their ballots when they vote.
