Why would it be in large cities? Wouldn’t it make more sense to try this out in a bunch of rural areas where all the “hicks” live, rather than the city where officials are looking for problems? Out in rural areas like where i live, we’re all dumb hicks who won’t have the brains to double check what the machine does, or so they think, so the general idea is it will be easier to get away with it.

This is also not a new problem, in the 2014 election I saw a video on the news of a governor who couldn’t vote for himself, the machine kept changing his vote to his opponent. After about a half dozen times he finally managed to get it to work. Officials said it was a “calibration error”. He got it on video and it was on the news, either Fox or Newsmax.

Double check the machine if you use one, they have been doing this at least since the 2014 election. I double checked mine that time and this year during the primary, no problems.

The way ours work, you use a touch screen, and it puts a check mark in a box beside each candidates name you vote for. When you finish, it has a verification screen, where you can see a review of each candidate or issue you voted for, and a change to back up and change it before you verify. Once you verify, it’s over with, you can’t change it again.

Always double check the voting machine. If you see any discrepancy, STOP...go get an official and SHOW THEM exactly what the machine is doing. Definitely do it before you finalize your vote.

I don't believe rural people are "dumb"; if anything, they are more likely to spot an anomaly than dumbed down urban voters. Remember that the old rural population of sharecroppers and farm workers, and small farmers and ranchers as well, have largely left the farm country due to mechanization and economies of scale. The rural working class is now an urban working or welfare class.

Besides, Amarillo is not rural, but a city of about 200,000 population. Democrats are on defense in this area, as they hold almost no offices in either the courthouses or the legislature. Additionally, I am not aware that Texas is using any of the Soros-connected voting machines. This Web site has a list of states that use them. http://yournewswire.com/george-soros-owns-voting-machines/
