Early votes for Romney being marked as Obama

Allegations of potential voting fraud have emerged in the battleground state of North Carolina. Voters in Guilford County have reported finding difficulties with the electronic voting machines that are being used to track early voting in that state. When a person tries to vote for Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney, the machine defaults to President Barack Obama.

While these kinds of mechanical errors occur in every election when electronic ballot systems are used, Republicans are seizing on the opportunity to undermine the credibility of every vote for Obama in North Carolina, bringing another source of contention to an already heated presidential election. As of Tuesday, Guilford County Board of Elections has confirmed that all errors have been repaired. Regardless, conservative blog Redstate has issued a tip for voting Republican. They say to avoid the 'straight-ticket' method, a process in which a person votes entirely for all candidates in a particular party, and instead select all candidates individually.
