How to Ensure Your Ballot is Cast Correctly in Texas
Voter integrity has always been an issue that bounces around local, state, and national offices. Whether these claims are true or not, it's important to feel confident that your vote was properly cast and will be tallied in support of whomever you chose.
Ballot-Counting Machine Errors
This is not an uncommon occurrence in Texas, especially in recent early voting days where some Texans have claimed that the machine changed their vote on the ballot. When they brought this error to the attention of the elections administrator, they indicated that it must have been a mistake from the voter instead of the machine.
However, Dallas County also shared with the public that their machines were experiencing glitches that would often duplicate ballots. This served as a major strain to the voting process and upset many ornery people waiting in line.
