Republican Donald Trump tweeted early Thursday morning that he is getting "a lot of call-ins about vote flipping at the voting booths in Texas."
"What is going on?" Trump asked in his tweet.
The Republican nominee and real estate mogul was likely referring to debunked reports that voting machines in Texas are changing votes for president on straight-ticket ballots from Trump to Hillary Clinton.
Those reports — which originated in Tarrant County, according to Snopes — have since been debunked. Election officials have said repeatedly that any "vote flipping" is caused not by broken machines, but user error.

Happened to me yesterday. Voted straight GOP and when it got to the confirm screen Hillary was selected. I was going to complain to a poll worker but then I thought " It" and pressed confirm.
All of this happening in the liberal hotbeds of Amarillo and Arlington, apparently; and all of it, shockingly, is user error.

(CNN) A social media post about ballot confusion in Texas has Donald Trump stoking claims of electoral corruption, but local officials say there's not foundation for concern.
Some voters in Texas, which began its early voting period this week, have experienced problems casting their ballots. A Randall County voter recalled her own mishap in a Facebook post on Monday, saying that she tried to cast a straight Republican ballot -- including a vote for Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence -- but wound up inadvertently selecting the Democratic ticket of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.

But Shannon Lackey, the elections administrator at Randall County, said there's no reason for concern.
"Absolutely not ... It is not happening in any way, shape or form," Lackey told CNN on Thursday. "I stand 100% behind what I do. I stand behind my machines, my staff."
The ballot complaints have surfaced elsewhere in Texas. Another woman said Monday on Facebook that a family member in Arlington, Texas, had her Republican vote changed to Clinton, a post that has been shared more than 200,000 times.
Potter County, which borders Randall County, has encountered similar problems. In each case, officials have attributed the problems to human error.
"There is nothing wrong with any of the machines we use for voting," Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner said in a statement this week. "They do not flip your vote. They do not flip parties. Humans do that."
Frank Phillips, the elections administrator in Arlington's Tarrant County, said that his investigation "indicated that the voter did not follow the directions for straight-party voting."
yeah, just conservatives that are complaining about vote flipping
"The North Carolina chapter of the NAACP sent a letter to the state's board of elections Monday after voters complained that machines had flipped votes in five counties. The group noted that, in each case, the voter was able to correct the error before the ballot was cast. But it asked the board to remove malfunctioning machines and to post signs reminding voters to check their ballots before submitting them."

Vote flipping Dem to Repug in black areas of a slave state? of course, no question
Only one party leader is making claims about voter fraud. That is the point, dim. Have fun fumbling around in the cognitive dark this afternoon.yeah, just conservatives that are complaining about vote flipping

I'm not sure I limited the concern that way; I just mentioned that the reports of vote-flipping in Texas that caused such alarm for Donald Trump this morning were arising from deeply conservative parts of the state (maybe my post wasn't clear about its sarcasm on that issue) and were overblown because they were actually caused by user errors and not the voting systems themselves.yeah, just conservatives that are complaining about vote flipping

Its because the good people of very red districts are super observant.
And still not familiar with electronic voting.
"Where is my quill and ink Cecil?"

Reck this is an example of rent free.
Poor RG just can’t quit me.
digging up posts from 2016
I pointed out that you do what Russia wants.
Russian propaganda at the time, was all about how US elections are rigged.
Trump talked about how US elections are rigged against him.
Was it because he was told to talk about that by Putin?
Were you helping out willingly, or were you just a puppetka?
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...b0e80b02cac710But Trump, who has seized upon Clinton’s email scandal to argue that she is corrupt and unqualified to be president, said Comey’s announcement is evidence that the system is “rigged” against him.
“Hillary Clinton is guilty. She knows it, the FBI knows it, the people know it,” he said. “And now it is up to the American people to deliver justice at the ballot box on November 8.”
“It’s unbelievable, unbelievable what she gets away with,” he added.
“We don’t want it taken away from us,” Trump later said of the election. “We don’t want it taken away.”
41 percent of US voters think ballot fraud could steal election from Trump – poll

Was Trump told to talk about this by his Russian handlers?
Just asking questions.
tsa don't believe his .
That's even worse.
TSA believes what he is told to.
I am sure he doesn't know/think he is being manipulated. He thinks this whole thing is his idea, and not the results of a foreign intelligence service providing a souped up amp in an echo-chamber.
I didn't start the thread you ing idiot. Was FuzzyLumpkins helping out willingly or just a puppetka?
