Voting machines in Texas change “Democrat” votes to “Republican”

October 31, 2006 Stephanie Leary 3 Comments

Voting machines in Texas change Democrat votes to Republican — some days I just loathe my state.

    hehe– That’s my county, and I did use those voting machines. They say that if there’s a problem with them, then they can screw with you, but I had no problems when I examined my voting record at the end of the process. I didn’t vote a straight ticket though, and in the individual races, I chose a smattering of Reps/Dems/Libs/ and Inds (Kinky for Gov!) as they suited me. So maybe the republicans I did choose satiated the programming monster’s hunger and he left me alone.

    If our district (which is predominately democrat) goes republican this term, then we’ll know something is up.

    Hi, Regina. Can’t tell if you’re a bot or not, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. I do know how old Kelso is, and this is not his first rodeo. Also, you will please note that he pointed out that his district goes Democrat, not the entire state.

    Come back when you have a useful observation to make. Further foamy-mouthed rants will get you banned.
