Texas voting machines are changing votes For Beto O'Rourke To Ted Cruz [View all]

Voters are reporting that some voting machines in Texas are changing some straight-ticket Democratic votes for Rep. Beto O’Rourke to votes for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

KTRK in Houston, Texas reported:
Voters are reporting odd problems on both the Republican and Democratic side of straight-party voting in Texas.
Mickey Blake was one of the voters in those early voting lines in Houston earlier this week.
“I hit straight Democratic ticket,” Blake said.
She says she expected all Democrats to come up on her screen, especially Rep. Beto O’Rourke, but when she got to the last screen to review her choices, she noticed a problem.

“It’s all Democratic except for Ted Cruz was checked,” Blake said.

This is really messed up!!!!
The problem is when people vote straight Dem ticket. If they vote straight repuke ticket it leaves the senate race blank.

The secretary of state's office said the issues were not caused by the voting machines, but by voters themselves! No, it is not! It is the machines!
