EVERYONE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY STOP USING ANY VOTING MACHINE THAT FLIPS/CHANGES YOUR VOTE, AND INSIST THE MACHINE BE TAKEN OFFLINE!!

ALWAYS REVIEW ALL OF YOUR VOTES BEFORE YOU PUSH THE FINAL VOTE BUTTON!!

When I cast an early vote yesterday at Palo Pinto County Court House, my vote was switched from Democrat to Republican right in front of my face – twice! And it has happened to others in our little town, ONE PERSON IN A DIFFERENT BUILDING THE DAY BEFORE I VOTED

I touched the button to vote a straight Democratic ticket and a straight Republican ticket was recorded. Thinking I may have touched the wrong button, I went back to the prior screen and changed the vote to Democrat again. The next screen said “Do you want to replace your Republican vote to a Democrat vote?” I indicated “Yes” and the most amazing thing happened…. a straight Republican ticket was once again recorded!!! A voter assistant said, “Oh yes, we have lots of problems with these machines.” I then refused to use that machine again, and voted on a different machine.

I came home and search the Net for an explanation. I discovered that Palo Pinto County uses ES&S, iVotronic DRE touch screen voting equipment. Further, I discovered hundreds of complaints and many law suits about using ES&S machines, saying they either dropped Democrat votes altogether, or changed Democrat votes to Republican!! (no reports of the reverse)
