3. She should work now to get the voting machines in TX verifiable.

The touch screens should never be used, and the opti-scans should be audited in EVERY ELECTION. And if the audit shows that the reported results are not in line with the randomly selected 5-10% of the vote, that is, if the probability of the deviation is less than 5% or 10% the VOTE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RECOUNTED.

Texas is one of the worst states in the country in terms of the reliability of the machines and the trustworthiness of the results, not to mention the huge voter suppression that takes place there. Wendy might do better to crusade for free and fair elections in which ALL ELIGIBLE VOTERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED TO VOTE. If the vote were counted fairly in TX and the voter suppression did not exist, she would likely have won her last race for governor and TX would easily be a blue state for the foreseeable future. That's why the Repubs have made TX one of the worst states in the country for free and fair elections of course.
