Video: Election machine turns Obama votes into ones for Romney The footage showed a voter in a polling booth repeatedly attempting to cast his ballot for Mr Obama, only to find the machine ticked Mr Romney's name. Baffled by the result, the unnamed voter alerted staff at the Pennsylvania voting station to the problem before recording what was happening. He later posted the video on YouTube. With a wide number of polls suggesting the election could go either way, both Democrat and Republican camps are on high alert for potential voter fraud. The incident is remiscent of a scene in The Simpsons in which Homer Simpson tries to vote during the 2008 election.
