Texas County Forced to Switch to Paper After Malfunction ‘Omits One Race’


Following repeated complaints of electronic malfunction by early voters, Chambers County election workers have recalled all voting machines until a glitch in their software is fixed. The “glitch”, as it turns out, is a malfunction that drops races from ballots for voters who vote straight-ticket:

“Hawthorne explained that she expects the technical difficulties to be completely addressed by end of business Tuesday. In the interim, regular paper ballots will be used. The county clerk told Breitbart Texas that before the machines were pulled, poll workers were instructed to alert voters to the glitch and double-check their selections.

Chambers County sits east of Texas’ largest county, Harris, and serves roughly 26,000 registered voters. Hawthorne noted that since polls opened on Monday, only one voter did not have proper photo identification and was required to complete an affidavit to cast a regular ballot. Breitbart Texas recently reported a similar trend in neighboring Harris County where less than 10 out of more than 67,000 ballots cast lacked ID.”

At the time of writing, we can find no instances of the straight Democratic ticket being changed, on Republican.
