Voters from across the Lone Star State are calling into radio shows today – Super Tuesday – to complain about mistakes on computerized voting machines after they tried to vote for conservative businessman Donald J. Trump!

For example, in Austin, KLBJ has spent the whole morning taking calls from voters who claim their votes were switched to Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Countless computer “glitches” and “freeze-ups” are also being reported.

Isn't it wonderful that in the age of the computer, which was supposed to make voting so much easier and faster, there seems to be more and more fraud as people figure out how to hack the machines so that no matter who you vote for, a specific candidate gets the vote. (could this be why many counties in I believe Ohio went 100% for King Barack, as in 95,000 to Zero!)

The nice thing about computers is that there is no such thing as a recount unless the computer actually and factually logs each specific button push. Button pushes should equal the number of votes for the candidate on that line.

Unfortunately as many have found, you really can't beat a piece of paper with a check mark, until all the votes from the dead are counted, and the people who have the right to vote multiple times.

Lets see in Texas.
Cruz: 1.2 million votes
Trump: 757,618 votes
Rubio: 502,223 votes
With a difference of 442,382 votes between Cruz and Trump.

Even if you were to take half (251,111) of Rubios votes which is a huge amount and give to them to Trump. Trumps new count would be 1,008,729, Cruz would have won by 191,270 votes. Which would be substantial.

So the complaint coming from "little San Fran" Austin Texas holds little water and its a pointless complaint. If the vote count was 20k between Trump and Cruz, then MAYBE there was a glitch that was worth bitching about. Still the EVM's need to be junked.

I think the crux of what concerns the op is that this sort of issue is what will put Hillary into office.

Well, if that is the case, I hope they get to the root of the problem immediately. Faulty machines are what put the current disaster in office TWICE.

They weren't faulty. Hacked/rigged, probably, but not faulty.

Maks no sense to me. Why in TEXAS, Cruz's home state would voting machines be fiddled with to help Rubio. Wouldn't they be adjusted to help Cruz win? Therefore I doubt the veracity of this report.

Not if you are looking to strip delegates from Trump in the open primaries.
IIRC all of the remaining states have closed primary votes.

I have my doubts, too, but to answer your question: remember, Rubio is the choice Golden Boy of the Repub Establishment and they are doing all they can to help him beat Trump and Cruz. They've thrown their full support behind Rubio.

Rubio is the one the Repub Establishment wants and Hitlery is the one the Dimocrat Establishment wants.

Both establishments would be happy with either choice as President.

All the more reason to vote for Cruz or Trump....:thumbsup:

So according to the audio on guy said it went to Rubio instead of Trump but I don't know if he said he corrected it or not? When we used electronic voting here in VA you got a confirmation screen showing all your picks and only then did you hit the "VOTE" button to cast your ballet. The second caller gave a second account of his mother voting early and said she caught and corrected the error. The third and last caller on the audio didn't say anything about casting a vote for Trump and it going to Rubio. She just told them she was confused about there being a page two and having to start over again on her ballot. Sure doesn't seem like a major issue.

Washington state has an open primary, anyone can vote for anyone (and Democrats often do to help select a weaker candidate to run against). Our primary is not until May.

That and their shit code is so shoddy it allows the voter to see his vote was changed.

Are you going to vote absentee?
