Trump Claims Proof Of Rigging In Texas

Politico reports:

Donald Trump pointed to Texas on Thursday as example of the presidential election allegedly being rigged against him. “A lot of call-ins about vote flipping at the voting booths in Texas,” he tweeted Thursday morning, citing no actual sources or reports. “People are not happy. BIG lines. What is going on?”

According to Snopes, “Reports are not flooding in from across Texas about vote switching.” “Although rumors of ‘vote switching’ in Texas are rampant, we found only one case in which a report was investigated, and it was found to be unsubstantiated,” the rumor researching website said.

Tim O’Hare, chair of the Tarrant County Republican Party, told a local CBS affiliate that voters are inadvertently changing their votes by incorrectly turning the machine’s wheel to change the page. “We don’t think there’s fraud inside the machine or software glitches,” he said. Deborah Peoples, who chairs the county’s Democratic Party, said some Democratic voters were experiencing similar issues seeing their votes changed to Trump.

The machines allow voters to go back and correct their vote when they reach the summary page.
