Must be some very strange ballots they use in TX, where you start out
voting all GOP, then check the box for Trump.

If you've already voted GOP, the Trump box should now be checked. Why
would you press it again (didn't know Trump was republican?)? Perhaps
the machine assumed that when you pressed it again, you meant something
else. Still, it shouldn't do that.

Every ballot I've ever
seen, the presidential candidates are at the top and if you go in a
normal order, you select them first.

That's the way it is here.

Also, I was not aware that early voting is done using machines.
My understanding is that it's done with absentee ballots.

Here (east Texas), early voting is done with touchscreen machines that
are several years old. It can take multiple presses to get one that works.

If it's
done with machines, that sounds really dumb, because you have machines
sitting around capable of being screwed with for a month, instead of
one day with everyone watching.
