Law&CrimeTea ⚖️ 🫆 Multiple Reports of Voting Machines Flipping Votes to Republican Candidates Automatically

This isn’t just happening in Tennessee. There are reports of voters in other states experiencing touchscreen voting machines changing their selections from Democratic to Republican candidates.

Please check, double-check, and TRIPLE-CHECK your ballot before submitting it. Make sure every vote reflects your choice. If something looks wrong, alert a poll worker before casting your ballot.

there are 2 possiblities here.

  1. the accusation is true and there is clear cut fraud
  2. the story is made up in an attempt to manipulate voters

regardless of which one it is, this needs to be investigated as there is clear vote fraud/manipulation going on, proof needs to be gathered as to what it exactly is.

Or possibility 3, you can read articles alleging the same thing from as far back as 2012. These machines are really just shit

There's even comments in this very thread where people say this happened. I'm in Texas, I've had the machines act screwy multiple times when voting. You have to go ridiculously slowly to make sure it's recording things properly and triple check at the end.

Yeah the less paranoid possibility is that the machines randomly flip votes or there's a sticky spot on the screen, perhaps where the republican candidates are in precincts where most people vote republican and the places aren't randomized. So many people push on the touch screen and eventually it gets sort of stuck.

But sometimes the more paranoid thing is the truth. So.

Or 3, people using technology make mistakes and nothing nefarious is occurring.

I'm not saying that's what it is, but it is an option none the less.

I'm not sure how these machines work since we don't use that kinda stuff here, but couldn't someone take their phone into the booth and record it picking the wrong candidate? Has anyone taken a video like that? This post had a lot of B-roll of the machines but not any footage of the mistake itself.

I don’t know about your phone, but mine has this little camera that can record things I point it at, like when I am voting for one candidate and the other candidate is selected.

so because you have a phone, you believe they shouldn't be investigating and doing something about this fraud/voter manipulation?

even if you have a phone, they should still be doing something about this, sorry but "owning a phone" doesn't seem like a good reason they should be ignoring something like this.

... I'm pretty sure what they're going for is that if this is something that's actually happening, you'd think someone would have recorded it happening with their phone.
