Texas County Enacts "Emergency Paper Ballots" After "Software Glitch" In Voting Machines
Zero Hedge ^ | 26 October 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 10/28/2016 10:26:52 AM PDT by Lorianne

Just yesterday we noted several social media complaints from Texas voters who alleged that when they voted a straight republican ticket that voting machines were switching their presidential selection to Clinton/Kaine. While most undoubtedly dismissed these reports as conspiracy theories, new official reports from Chambers County, Texas suggest that there might be some truth to the voting machine "irregularities". According to an NBC affiliate, polling stations in Chambers County had to enact emergency protocols yesterday and revert back to paper ballots after a "glitch" was discovered in the county's voting machines.

The issue was actually discovered on Monday morning when Chambers County Clerk Heather Hawthorne was casting her own ballot and the voter next to her noticed that one of her votes was not filled in when she reviewed her electronic ballot Hawthorne told 12News on Tuesday.

An error in the voting machine programming by Election Systems & Software (ES&S) caused votes for one statewide court of appeals race not to be entered when a voter tried to vote straight ticket in either party according to a release from Chambers County.

ES&S is the vendor that Chambers County contracts with to program their voting machines.

The Texas Secretary of State's office informed Hawthorne to create emergency paper ballots to continue voting until the problem could be fixed according to the release.

Does this mean that all prior votes are null and void? Will people who already voted be allowed to recast their vote?

All well and good. However, there are still electronic scanners that read the paper votes and tally them ELECTRONICALLY!
Worth watching!

That, it would seem, is the only reasonable course of action.

It has been suggested that these hacks depend on the straight party ticket vote. I disagree that it is because it takes less work to program BUT that those voting straight ticket may not be paying as much attention to what the machine is actually doing.

Need to know how many were accidentally switched to Trump. I’ll bet none.

Just a glitch, huh. The uber lib Austin, TX SeeBS station had a segment on their nightly news a couple of nights ago that it was virtually impossible to rig a voting machine.

Even the UN says so... when the UN says your voter ID system sucks, it probably well and truly does.

“The Texas Secretary of State’s office informed Hawthorne to create emergency paper ballots to continue voting until the problem could be fixed according to the release.”

You can never determine that it is fixed. The fact is that is such and “ERROR” exists then any other kind of error could also exist. Including ones that you cannot see. Including incorrect tabulation in the final numbers.

Electronic voting machines must be banned! Ban them now!

I believe that Soros owns the machines that are being used in Texas.

Clear evidence of vote tampering in electronic balloting.

Clear and present danger, all electronic voting is suspect.

Voter photo ID, paper ballots, permanent purple ink thumbprint on ballot, two-party counting is now absolutely required, everywhere.
