Im pretty sure Texas uses the paperless machines like Florida.

In the 2012 US election, we used the same machines as Venezuela that have been proven that they can be easily tampered.

Smartmatic is the name of the company.

....while true that the central TX counties have iVotronic machines at the polling places, in the last 4 elections I’ve worked the electronic votes are less than 20% of total votes.... even when there is often no line for the machine and a wait for the paper ballot booth.

ymmv

It is not the machines.

It is the registration, absentee fraud and lack of I.D.

I’ve used Diebold machines every time I’ve voted over the past few years

It’s still a mixed bag according to this article from back in Oct. 2012.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9233058/Election_watchdogs_keep_wary_eye_on_paperless_e_voting_systems

But a total of 16 states will, to varying extents, use DREs that do not support a paper
trail as their standard polling place equipment, according to Verified Voting.

Of these, six states — New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia,
and Louisiana — will be completely paperless. All ballots that are cast in these
states will be on DREs that support no paper trail whatsoever.

The remaining states, which include Texas, Colorado, Florida, Virginia and
Pennsylvania, will use a mix of paper ballots and DRE voting systems that are
paperless. But even here, the states of Virginia, Pennsylvania and Tennessee
will be almost completely reliant on paperless electronic voting systems. In Tennessee
for instance, all but two counties will use paperless DREs, while in Virginia all but
seven of 134 countries will use paperless systems. Meanwhile, in a handful of
states like Florida only voters with physical disabilities will use paperless DREs.

We have both paper and electronic. When I voted in Dallas County, it was always a choice.

Here in Kaufman County, the GOPers in charge decided that we would ONLY use electronic in early voting and paper for election day. I wonder how the provisional votes are being done during early voting.
