I toggled all the way back through the 16+ pages to undo the Ted Cruz selection manually and change it to a vote for @BetoORourke.

I then toggled through the 16+ pages again and reached the final review page.

This time it correctly read @BetoORourke.

I cast my ballot.

1. KR!!

2. I always toggle back and double check.

Ain't leaving it to chance with these fuckers!

[StarryNite]

3. How many people won't notice their vote was changed?!

4. +++ agree. Texas election board is saying the machines aren't at fault, they are claiming it's user

error. I call BS. It's Republican initiated cheating to try to steal the election.

5. Too many...

8. Those who don't really pay attention to the final screen.

Once I watched a woman walk away from the machine; I was next in line. She hadn't cast a vote--she got to the review page, saw it said what she wanted, and apparently thought that was her vote.

I voted for her--just submitted what she had--and then voted for me. The poll workers hadn't noticed that the machine hadn't actually cast the vote.

15. I wouldn't admit to casting her ballot, as it is illegal

If you had notified the election judge they would have spoiled the ballot. Which is the lawful thing to do. Just saying.

6. Straight party would not make this mistake

But, if this were user error - why is it only manifesting in the top races, vs the bottom ones?

10. On the contrary

They're saying straight party is where it's happening. Straight party Dem is flipping Beto to Cruz. Straight party GOP is flipping Cruz to nothing.

9. They only win when they cheat! eom

[calimary]

11. Good thing you double-checked!

12. I got my absentee ballot from Dallas a month ago

I took the half hour to color in every Democratic candidate individually before sending it back to the States. I wasn't going to trust some Republican-programmed machine to take my straight party vote, and change Beto to Cruz without anyone ever knowing.

13. Isn't it amazing how these machine errors always favor Repuplicans?

One would think the machines are being rigged.

[iluvtennis]

14. Indeed.

[lovemydogs]

16. how many who voted for Beto had their vote show up Cruz, I wonder

[bluestarone]

17. Totally uncomfortable with this!!

How can we know for sure after voting that the machine voted for the right person??? THIS has to CHANGE!!!
