Texas officials: Trump not telling the truth about vote-flipping
Donald Trump is making it up again.
Click here for reuse options!A social media post about ballot confusion in Texas has Donald Trump stoking claims of electoral corruption, but local officials say there’s not foundation for concern…
The Republican presidential nominee took to Twitter to suggest Thursday there have been widespread cases of “vote flipping,” the act of casting a vote for one candidate only to see it awarded to the opponent instead.
“A lot of call-ins about vote flipping at the voting booths in Texas,” Trump tweeted. “People are not happy. BIG lines. What is going on?”
…But Shannon Lackey, the elections administrator at Randall County, said there’s no reason for concern.
“Absolutely not … It is not happening in any way, shape or form,” Lackey told CNN on Thursday. “I stand 100% behind what I do. I stand behind my machines, my staff.”
The ballot complaints have surfaced elsewhere in Texas. Another woman said Monday on Facebook that a family member in Arlington, Texas, had her Republican vote changed to Clinton, a post that has been shared more than 200,000 times.Potter County, which borders Randall County, has encountered similar problems. In each case, officials have attributed the problems to human error.
“There is nothing wrong with any of the machines we use for voting,” Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner said in a statement this week. “They do not flip your vote. They do not flip parties. Humans do that.”
Frank Phillips, the elections administrator in Arlington’s Tarrant County, said that his investigation “indicated that the voter did not follow the directions for straight-party voting.”

I don’t speak politics with certain family members, I have a hard enough time teaching immature 7th graders, there is no way I will try to teach immature adults.

Yeah, sometimes accommodations must be made.
My best friend since high school is pretty conservative and we avoid politics. Occasionally one of us will have a good line or it comes up anyway. What we do is each make a comment, see how it goes, and if it’s still light and convivial, we’ll exchange a couple more remarks, but duck out of the conversation if it looks like it’s going to get intense.
There is so much else to discuss, and our friendship is most important.
Y’know I, uhh, have a thing for teachers…..

That was way cool.

So they’re willing to believe that the Democrats can rig the voting machines to switch people’s votes, but they’re not willing to believe that there are people in Texas (Texas, people!) stupid enough to not figure out how to vote correctly? Which one is more likely?
Warman1138 October 27th, 2016 at 17:47
Trump’s lies are going to bite back big time far more than they are now…….and he’s going to regret it.

and talked about his daughter, Tiffany, who was only 1 at the time, when asked what would she get from her mother, this twisted bastard answered, breast.

Who ever would believe there are people in Texas that are too stupid to know how to work a friggin’ pen?
burqa October 28th, 2016 at 00:17
I don’t know.
What gets me is the thought that all these Trump supporters are picking up his habit of being such a big crybaby and I have a feeling that long after the election is over and after Trump has faded from memory, they will still be copying his whiny crybaby act.
I bet that weenie was the biggest tattletale in school and number one teacher’s pet

The Lying Crybaby strikes again!

repukes are disgusting walking trash. there are more of us Americans that are not racist, hateful or bigots that don’t want his kind of representation. that’s why he will lose. if a black man, our president Obama can win twice, and consider, these same assholes were around for both elections right, if they couldn’t vote Obama out, they sure as hell can’t vote tRump in.

That seems to be a theme with the entire Trump campaign – operator error.
