It DID favor a Democrat over a Republican. The error was corrected. The Republican won the seat.

It had no bearing on any other election, neither state or national.

Or, so I understand.

on right wing websites. Not one mention from a reputable source. The claim was that voting machines in Michigan were switching Trump votes to Biden. I’m guessing they’re pulling things out of the body part that Trump uses to store UV lights, because they’re losing.

before any votes were tabulated. A clerk there had neglected to update the software.

Ultimately, seems to be a nothingburger. Note, the headline on the article is the opposite of what the article said. I think the story is so convoluted it's hard to cover or something.

First time I've heard of a voting machine glitch that switched votes to a Democrat. They almost always seem to favor Republicans.

Apparently he was concerning about the Dominion machines used in all the swing states and he was saying that 6000 votes were flipped. Then I read what others have written that it was a glitch that had nothing to do with voting and Jenny Cohn took down the thread and said she would wait and see. There seemed to be no facts or links from Fox so Republican BS I think.

Jenny responded that Dems tried to get election security passed by the Republicans and they refused so.... I would say that there is nothing concrete and nothing verifiable at this point. Just tossing up dust to create confusion about the integrity of the election. They cheat so much I would think they will fold their tents early because they do not want anyone seeing what they did.
