Early voting in texas
On the news tonight it showed that when someone starts out voting a straight Republican ticket, then check the box for Trump, it changes the vote to Clinton. You have to check your vote before finalizing or you find you've voted for Clinton.
A woman had to get help, and it took several minutes to get the machine to accept her vote for Trump. And people say the machines aren't rigged. I wonder how many early voters didn't catch it and ended up voting for Clinton by mistake? |

Just admit it was a horrible mistake and return to paper ballots and optical scanners. That way they've got a paper trail. My precinct introduced one electronic machine for trial purposes a couple of elections ago. Voters were told it was optional. If they wanted to use it, they were free to do so. Almost nobody wanted to. We prefer marking our paper ballots. |

Must be some very strange ballots they use in TX, where you start out voting all GOP, then check the box for Trump. 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. Also, I was not aware that early voting is done using machines. My understanding is that it's done with absentee ballots. 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. |

They usually use the same voting method for early voting (in person) as they use for the general election. The machines are dumped at the end of the day if they are not connected to a server and those totals are saved until election day in some secure format. At least that is the way it is happening in Florida. We use optically scanned paper that is electronically tabulated but could be read manually if we have another "sore loserman" situation. |

It doesn't mean that they are necessarily wrong. I looked for other articles about this topic, and found a lot of 'cut and paste' journalism stuffed with weasel-words. Only then did I decide to see if Snopes had it covered. Believe what you want to, check for yourself, and adapt. |

I am uncertain what to believe but I no longer rely on Snopes and prefer to do most of my own checking. That's what I do, but when I see so many articles referring to one rumor site and stuffed with additional weasel-words I tend to think that I'm not the only one who noticed. Nobody should rely on only one *source*, that's just ridiculous. [...] |

Clark county has ~147 polling sites; over a two week period, from grocery stores, libraries, malls, trailers in parking lots, etc. I'm sure the machines are secured each evening and the data is already reported to the elections office. Not a problem here. |

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. -- 60 days until the winter celebration (Sunday December 25, 2016 12:00:00 AM for 1 day).
