1/ #TexasSenateRace 1.4% of votes flipped by machines could have made the difference.The Hart eSlate machines have a bug triggered by “voters hitting a button or using the selection wheel before the screen is finished rendering”. Explanations given by officials are insufficient.
2/ The issue was known & had been entirely preventable by simply moving the senate race to a different position on the ballot, according to manufacturer and the TX sec. of state's office's explanations. That this wasn't done is highly suspicious, already. #TexasSenateRace
3/ The manufacturer's claim that the machine "does not, and cannot, 'flip' or 'switch' votes." is, of course, nothing more than damage control. There *is no way* of controlling the integrity of each individual voting machine that allows to make such a statement in good faith.
4/ And indeed, an independent review of the voting machines not only found that the software hasn't been updated since 2007, the machines are also prone to tampering, as below article shows. The official explanation might be nothing more than a lie.

5/ Long lines & being in a hurry, insufficient instructions etc. can be factors in voters not noticing a change in their selections, circumstances that have been widely reported. And Republicans tried to prevent polling locations from being opened as long as required by law.
6/ The allegedly relatively low number of reported incidents does in no way indicate a low number of total incidents. And less than 1 in 50 undetected flips could have made all the difference in the #TexasSenateRace
7/ The office called reports on the issue "rampant dissemination of misinformation [..] unduly causing great consternation". Given the extreme levels of voter suppression during the midterms, hardly an appropriate characterization of highly relevant information.
8/ And make no mistake: Even though the issue had been known for years, the office only chose to make a short public statement *after* reports, and only gave a more detailed statement 4 days later after that.

9/ The number of voters who left due to long waiting times is unknown. Others couldn't vote because the machines didn't work, and there were insufficient paper ballots.
10/ Again: Just 1.4% of all votes, or *just 9% of the votes in Harris county alone* could have been enough to flip the election to Cruz. The voting machines are being used in precincts with a combined population of 7.2 million registered voters.
11/ FL: Tens of thousands rejected absentee ballots. Election fraud.

The voting machine documentation manuals have been "fixed" - the missing pages are concerned with the correct procedures to follow when polls are closed and votes are being accumulated. Read that again:

24/ The anonymous source of the video in the PT asks exactly the right questions: "I caught the error, but how many wouldn't? And if it has this kind of error, how likely is it there are other errors we can’t even see?"
25/ A voter from Ohio in response to the video: "Same thing happened to me".
