Early Texas Voters Say Voting Machines Are Messing Up…

Uh oh…

THIS isn’t good.

Early Texas voters are claiming the voting machines are SWITCHING their votes.

According to Fox News:

Voters casting their ballots early in Texas claimed this week that when casting Democratic or Republican straight-ticket ballots, voting machines in at least 80 counties in the Lone Star State flipped their votes to the other party in key midterm races, including the high-profile competition between incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz and his Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke.

The Texas secretary of state’s office on Friday said that there have been issues reported with Hart eSlate voting machines, which are used in approximately 30 percent of counties statewide. The machines feature a wheel for selecting candidates and buttons to move from screen to screen.

A WHEEL?!

What is this?! A GAME SHOW?

The secretary of state, however, claims the issues aren’t the machines’ fault… but rather people messing it up themselves.

“The Hart eSlate machines are not malfunctioning, the problems being reported are a result of user error — usually voters hitting a button or using the selection wheel before the screen is finished rendering,” said Sam Taylor, spokesman for the office of Secretary of State Rolando Pablos.

Ok… well if your machine is making it hard for people to know what to do… then it’s STILL ON YOU.

Several people said they were able to get help from employees at polling places in order to change their vote back.

In a statement to supporters, Cruz cited “multiple reports” of vote changing and added, “Once you select the Republican party ticket, please be patient and do not select ‘next’ until the ballot has populated all of the selections.”

Ugh.

We’ll see how this pans out…
