Chambers County election officials have executed an emergency protocol to remove all electronic voting machines available during early voting until a software update can be completed to correct problems experienced by straight-ticket voters.
Chambers County Clerk Heather Hawthorne told Breitbart Texas Tuesday morning that all electronic voting was temporarily halted until her office completes a “software update” on ES&S machines that otherwise “omit one race” when a straight ticket option is selected for either major party. The Texas 14th Court of Appeals race was reported to be the contest in which voters commonly experienced the glitch.
Hawthorne explained that she expects the technical difficulties to be completely addressed by end of business Tuesday. In the interim, regular paper ballots will be used. The county clerk told Breitbart Texas that before the machines were pulled, poll workers were instructed to alert voters to the glitch and double-check their selections.
Chambers County sits east of Texas’ largest county, Harris, and serves roughly 26,000 registered voters. Hawthorne noted that since polls opened on Monday, only one voter did not have proper photo identification and was required to complete an affidavit to cast a regular ballot. Breitbart Texas recently reported a similar trend in neighboring Harris County where less than 10 out of more than 67,000 ballots cast lacked ID.
I too have programming experience and I agree with you 100%. It had to be deliberate and the version of source code used to compile the executable binary can be backtracked to. There are also reverse compilers if they were really good at covering their tracks. This is not a hardware issue. If it was it would be isolated to one machine and there is a 99.999% cancer that a harrdware error would be catastrophic and shut down he machine.
This is malicious code meant to switch a smaller but signifcant enough votes to tip the election but still allow some votes for Trump.
Don’t mess with Texas!
I just have to ask. Would you not test these machines before the election?
But wouldn’t code be needed to have that behavior anyway? Unless the touchscreen’s hardware is altered.
Dang it, Fred, I thought we discussed the flip was supposed to happen AFTER the submit button was pushed.
WTF?
How will that affect what is counted?
I was born at night; but not LAST night!
Personally I would urge legislation to allow every voter the option to use a paper ballot.
Further, I would demand and legislate that the transportation to the County registrar's office not be allowed until a monitor (properly background checked and vetted) for the GOP be present at all times, or until one is requested and is present.
Further further, that universally NO ELECTRONIC voting machines be allowed anywhere in the United States, which is manufactured or provided by Soros, or any company OR ORGANIZATION directly or indirectly associated with Soros.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
I can’t understand the ‘take a picture of your ballot’ either.
Lots of states that’s just illegal.
And proves nothing if it’s legal.
Taking a picture of my ‘ballot’ would take a picture of a touch screen. That’s it. No proof my vote was registered as a vote for this or that particular candidate.
It’s gaslighting to suggest taking a picture of a ballot will negate vote fraud in any way.
You are so correct. One of the software system I developed had 100,000+ lines of code. It designed an entire drive train of a machine with 500-750 HP motor, creating a force of upto 3000 tons with 20-30 cycles per minute. Adding votes for a dozen or so candidates should require no more than 50 lines of code, at the most. This is obviously malicious progam code.
Glitch my ass. Look at the miracle of modern day microchip technology, what our cell phones can do and in 2016 they STILL have giant voting machines that cannot reliably sort data and record a vote as it was cast? Ridiculous.
Paper ballots. Everywhere.
Is the "disease" limited to a "coincidence" of a certain brand of voting machines ?
Once is a happenstance,
Twice is more than a coincidence ,since ..
In Politics, there is no such thing as COINCIDENCE !
bttt
The only thing I can think of is that the machines are super sensitive and if someone rests their hand on a part of the screen, it senses the movement and switches. HOWEVER, as I’ve said before, There has NEVER EVER been a case whereby it was reported that the vote switched from DEM to REP. Just saying
Election fraud bttt
It’s not just the dems.
TX is run by pubbies. RNC is complicit in this.
Each county must have hundreds of machines. The Election office will not check all of them, or maybe even any of them. Having worked as a precinct voting inspector, our instructions were to plug in the machine, make sure the ballot was proper, and then have the machine do it’s own internal diagnostic test. We had no way of checking the type of vote switching chicanery happening here. And for that matter, the election board probably didn’t either. The “error” does not take place until an actual ballot is being cast once the machine goes live.
It’s a pretty well written code error; whoever programmed it has knowledge of how the equipment is handled and tested, and how they can make it happen only when the ballot is being cast. And damn right, it’s deliberate.
I’ve posted before that the DNC has a political map of the United States down to the precinct level, and they also have very good internal poling. They know exactly how many votes they need to manufacture to get to 270 Electoral Votes. They can target the heavily democrat and democrat supervised precincts in the swing states, and “preload” the machines with the right number of votes to take the state. Of course, with a little extra padding to be sure.
We are watching it play out now. And the fact that they think they can swing Texas this way is not encouraging.
That is very true. It’s always a one way event.
Exactly. Hardware can be explained as incompetence or a mistake. Coding is proof of malice, and a single case of sabotaged code that’s proven will blow the game wide open.
