Long lines at early voting location. Lower percentage of minority voters than I remember in 2012.

Long long lines of pro Hillary supporters locally, what was weird was these huge piles of blue shirts right outside the polling building, and weirder yet all who came out were wearing red!

Just saw this:

Hey everyone, just a heads up! I had a family member that voted this morning and she voted straight Republican. She checked before she submitted and the vote had changed to Clinton! She reported it and made sure her vote was changed back. They commented that It had been happening. She is trying to get the word out and asked that we post and share. Just want everyone’s vote to be accurate and count. Check your vote before you submit! Mary Sims-Beckham and Bradina Benson do y’all know how to report this?
Edit: this happened this morning In Arlington TX. Mon, Oct 24, 2016, which is also when I posted!

Insist on a paper ballot. You have that option.

How many of the Harris County Republican voters had their votes switched by the machines to Clinton/Kaine? Several Texas locations already reporting that. Tell me this election won't be stolen!

In Florida you get a paper ballot which you feed to the machine or you can hand it to a poll worker who feeds it to the machine. Florida is a Soros machine state so I don’t think it much matters. And you can’t see what the machine is registering when you feed the paper ballot into it. There are also touch screens for those who prefer to use them. Mostly they stand unused. Nobody trusts them.

Checked the summary of my early vote, and it was recorded correctly. My wife did the same thing with the same result. We both voted line by line, which made it easier to check.

Flipping Texas from R to D would require over a million fraudulent votes.

However, if voting machines were flipping legitimate votes, it might take as few as 500,000 flipped votes.

But wouldn’t that number of flipped votes scream for attention because of the dramatic change from recent voting patterns in the areas affected?

One flipped vote is one too many. It shouldn't happen.

AND it's in the programming. A machine only does what you tell it to do.

“But wouldn’t that number of flipped votes scream for attention because of the dramatic change from recent voting patterns in the areas affected?”

The MSM would simply wave its hand and say those aren’t the flipped votes you’re looking for. “It would seem that Donald Trump’s star power, dimmed by non-stop scandal, has turned off even staunch conservatives in this historically Republican area. Here in conservative [state / county / precinct], which voted for Romney over Obama by 20 percentage points in the 2012 Presidential election, unofficial results show...”

How’s that? Can I apply for a job at the AP?

We should get a receipt after going through the scanner that verifies where your vote went like you get after pumping gas type receipt. I always get a sinking feeling when that scanner gobbles my ballot.

“Insist on a paper ballot. You have that option.”

A paper ballot is only as good as the person reading and recording it.

Hillary will make 30-40 million illegal aliens citizens, making the U.S. a one-party state. Trump will deport criminal aliens immediately, cause illegal aliens to self-deport, and then start deportations of the remaining illegals.

The Catholic bishops, like Dolan, Chaput, Gomez, Cupich, O’Malley, etc., etc., are bashing Trump because they want 40 million illegals legalized—and they want more illegals in perpetuity.

Here they go, voting early and often. My guess many of these “early voters” were being compensated.

This is actually prohibited by law, at least in some states.

The reason: the voter cannot be suborned into voting for a candidate, and showing the receipt as proof he did so.

An example: a union member has to show the receipt to the union boss, proving that he voted for the Democrat. I'm sure you can come up with other examples.

But you can’t see what the software program recorded.

Yours is the second instance reported regarding changing the vote when it was a straight ticket.

Wondering if it would be easier for the machines to be programmed to change the straight tickets as opposed to someone who voted individual candidates (even if voting for all Republicans)?
