        I first started complaining about this back in 2000, when it was said that all you needed to shift an election was 5 minutes alone with one of these machines and a USB drive. Of course everybody was calling me paranoid. You don’t even need a USB drive now.

            I’ve seen maybe two other images of the “Party = D, Senator = Cruz” ballot “error”, but that’s the only one I saved (also because I know who took it).

            When I went back to see what had come from the “investigation”, my heart just sank when I saw that the press had simply swallowed the line given to them by the Abbott-appointed Texas Secretary of State: “oops, no big deal”.

              Who did the person who took this send it too? Did they name the county responsible for their elections? If this is real, I’m having a hard time understanding how I would have never seen it as a Texan plugged into subversive communities

                Lady I know from Twitter posted it on there, and took it in Harris County.

                And I don’t know why you’re so concerned about its veracity; the issue was widely reported on in Texas during the 2018 election. Search for that election and the phrase “vote flipping” and you should find out all you need to know-- well, at least all that Texas election officials were willing to admit to.

                The same thing happened in Cruz’s 2012 election-- same voting machine manufacturer, too-- although it was more widely reported on in 2018. They’ve cheated for him twice now.

                  I searched as instructed on duck duck go and there wasn’t a single hit on this topic on the first 3 pages of search results. Do you have any links at all?
