Local news station picked up this story from Texas where Trump votes were being changed to Hillary with the electronic machines.

So check your tickets folks and make sure you speak up about it to workers or those in line.

You'd better complain to the establishment Republican election officials in TX.

If the machine itself is intentionally rigging the votes, then it would probably do so in a more surreptitious way so no one can figure out what had happened (i.e., they wouldn't change the votes until the "ballot" is submitted and then alter the choices behind the scenes so the voters cannot see the change).

This is something you should do at EVERY election. I always double check my votes before hitting the submit button.

Question is, do officials know how to go back in and delete the error or change the vote back to the one selected by voter? What a mess.

Did you see where they corrected the vote errors? From a legitimate news source versus... Facebook complaining.

"But elections officials say the allegations are more than likely false or instances of user error.
Garland City Council member Stephen Stanley said he went to an early voting station at Nicholson Memorial South Branch Library on Tuesday morning while campaigning for candidates on the ballot.
He said around noon a woman came out of the library and told him she had tried to vote straight ticket Republican but the machine said she had voted straight Democrat.
The woman told him a poll worker apologized that the machine wasn't working and instructed her to use another one."


"Dallas County elections administrator Toni Pippins-Poole encouraged all voters to double-check their ballots before submitting them. She said she's received second-hand reports of malfunctioning machines, but no one has logged an official complaint and she doesn't have any names to go with the claims.
"It could be voter error or it could be that the machine needs to be recalibrated," Pippins-Poole said.

She said in each case the voter was eventually able to vote how they wanted to."

We voted yesterday, electronic machines, and both of us checked twice before submitting. Trump/Pence for the win!

As I noted in yet another thread about this subject, a local Texas official noted that some voters would 1) select the 'straight ticket' selection, then 2) scroll around and then cast a vote for a person in the opposite party, resulting in malfunction or incorrectly recorded vote or such. Oh, then they go on social media and whine.
