Voting machine fraud

Since the early voting began there have been reports in such states as North Carolina that the voting machines are behaving oddly.  In North Carolina, for example, there have been several reports of the voting machines flipping the intentions of the electors. 

This "flipping" works in the following way: the person inputs their voting intention - a straight Republican ticket - that person then checks before submitting the vote. Instead of the machine showing straight Republican it shows straight Democrat. There have been reports that it took 5 goes before the machine would show the intended result. 

The North Carolina GOP is on top of this situation and they have issued a statement regarding what really amounts to voting machine fraud in several counties.  What you must know about this situation is the following:

Additional skepticism surrounds this situation due to the fact that the company responsible for the sale, distribution and maintenance of these machines has made headlines recently for questionable dealings in obtaining state contracts. Knowing that the ownership of the company in question, Printelect, has strong ties to the North Carolina Democratic Party and that the company itself holds a virtual monopoly on ballot printing and equipment maintenance for the state has only fueled suspicions. 
Did you see what I saw? The company who supplied the voting machines has strong ties to the North Carolina Democratic Party, and it holds a virtual monopoly  on ballot printing and equipment maintenance. Did you get that? The company has strong ties to the North Carolina Democrats. Voter fraud anyone?
