MOLINE, IL - Up until now, stories of Illinois voting machines switching votes in have been anecdotal and blamed on voter error or calibration issues.

There is now a video of it actually happening.

A man in Moline used his phone to document how his vote for a Republican registered as a vote for the Democrat. The man wanted to vote for Republican Neil Anderson for Illinois State Senate, but when he touched Anderson’s name the vote registered for Democrat Mike Jacobs.

It wasn’t a one-time “error,” the same thing happened when he tried to vote for GOP congressional candidate Bobby Schilling. When he touched Schilling’s name, the vote registered for his Democratic opponent, Rep. Cheri Bustos.
