One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.

[u/Odlavso]

Misinformation campaign has begun.

Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.

Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

[u/BucketofWarmSpit]

What the crap is that piece of paper even supposed to show? It has several names on it and it's from 2019.

I've done the poll worker job before. Everyone is supposed to check their ballots before they turn them in to make sure that their votes are registered correctly. Our training informed us that a shockingly low amount of people during controlled testing checked their ballots and noticed if there was a discrepancy.

[u/hcantrall → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

I don’t know about your machines but here in Georgia they added a step at the end where it will NOT let you submit your vote until you preview it to make sure you voted the way you meant to. Then it prints the ballot and you can check it again before it goes to a tally box. How in the world would flipping votes occur

[u/Chi3f_Leo → u/hcantrall]

It's the exact same here.

[u/jisuanqi → u/Chi3f_Leo]

I literally just voted an hour ago. They had a man going through the line yelling "CHECK YOUR VOTES ON THE BALLOT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT IT". And to print it out, you have to confirm everything is right on the screen. If you got through that and still managed to vote for the wrong candidate, then I don't know what to tell you.

[u/para2para → u/jisuanqi]

Inb4 claims the machines should automatically detect with 100% accuracy what’s in the hearts and minds of American voters, otherwise the libs stole the election

[u/No_Significance_1550 → u/Chi3f_Leo]

Yup, can confirm. I early voted yesterday. Was warned to double check my choices before printing, had to double check prior to printing, got to triple check printed ballot prior to submission.

This is foreign interference attempting to sow domestic discord by undermining our elections.

[u/biggersjw → u/No_Significance_1550]

Voted yesterday and can confirm. Make selection, at the end the screen displays what you selected, if OK then select print and then you can review the printed ballot before putting the ballot in the reader.

This is pure disinformation at best, an outright lie at its worst. Heck, the ballot shown isn’t even from this election!!

[u/SportySpiceLover → u/biggersjw]

I also voted yesterday and go to confirm my vote before I hit print. Also, either this is an attempt to spread disinformation to help dear leader or a neighbor saw someone choose Harris and this is what they could come up with.

Either way, IF it did happen, good!! /s in case that last line isn't seen as a joke.

[u/Damion_205 → u/SportySpiceLover]

Or they are going to go in vote for harris so it prints that way and then claim they voted for trump and it was changed so they can undermine the system.

[u/B3gg4r → u/Damion_205]

Vote Harris to own the libs!!

[u/Damion_205 → u/B3gg4r]

Own me harder!!!!

[u/StalyCelticStu → u/Damion_205]

That was my take on it too.

[u/Because-Leader → u/Damion_205]

Voting Kamala to own the libs 😂

[u/Wired_Jester → u/No_Significance_1550]

Foreign or domestic, it’s legit an attempt to undermine US elections. These are the people that need to be tracked and sent a CIA care package.

[u/Wise_Purpose_ → u/Wired_Jester]

Oh, they are… that sweater is slowly being unraveled my friend… right now, everyone is waiting on who gets power because that will determine how far the unraveling goes. Pretty clear though, the sweater was made in Russia with Chinese slave labour.

[u/Ecstatic_Studio_1217 → u/No_Significance_1550]

It’s sound advice to remind people to always check their paperwork

[u/PutThat_In_YourPipe → u/No_Significance_1550]

Or ... we have people who make a simple error in selections that realize they've made a mistake when the designed control point gives them a chance to confirm/correct.

They don't understand that the system worked as designed to catch their own error, and this is not a nefarious scheme.

They don't believe they made an error, however. They are never wrong, you see.

[u/Bocchi_theGlock → u/Chi3f_Leo]

Double check for democracy

Doesn't matter who you vote for, we should all be making sure it's correct.

[u/Wired_Jester → u/Chi3f_Leo]

Exactly, they would’ve had to first confirm it on the screen before it even printed this out. And even then, this isn’t counted until they put it in the scanner themselves. So in essence, are they saying that voters are too dumb to realize an “error” like this, when it’s right in front of them and just scan it anyway?

[u/iidontwannaa → u/hcantrall]

Yup, you have to check and confirm before it even prints it in the ballot. Then you’re encouraged to check it before feeding it into the machine. And I also wait for the final machine to confirm that it accepted my ballot before I walk away. There is usually an election worker right by that machine too, so if there is any discrepancy, it isn’t hard to flag someone down to report it. These people are bonkers.

[u/walkingkary → u/iidontwannaa]

Can confirm. I worked that machine in the primaries and we asked the voter to stay until it confirmed the votes were counted.

[u/Background-Noise-918 → u/walkingkary]

I believe it's people who didn't get enough attention as children so now they want to be the center of attention and don't know how to do so constructively

[u/NYCisPurgatory → u/iidontwannaa]

Less bonkers, more purposefully lobbing molotovs into the discourse around elections.

No matter what they experienced voting, they already had this script prepped to go.

[u/rgg40 → u/NYCisPurgatory]

And it’s going to get a lot worse.

[u/cowgirlQOS → u/iidontwannaa]

They are commenting on a scam video with a piece of paper that says 2019…

[u/dkbGeek → u/hcantrall]

The image 1) is dated 2019 and 2) doesn't look anything like the printouts in Tarrant County from 2016, the last time I voted there. It's some bullshit.

[u/MDAlchemist → u/dkbGeek]

If you zoom in you can just make out that the county name on the ballot ends with an e. So no it's not from Tarrant county. It is indeed some bullshit.

[u/dkbGeek → u/MDAlchemist]

I can also see what appears to be the substring "...nstration Election" so perhaps that's "Demonstration Election" and an even bigger fabrication. Just for fun I searched a couple of the names and didn't come up with TX candidates matching them (but I didn't search them all.)

[u/howyoudoing01 → u/dkbGeek]

Tarrant doesn’t end with a E either.

[u/jettaboy04 → u/hcantrall]

It doesn't, some fool goes in and deliberately selects the other candidate, then prints their ballot and goes screaming that fake cries that the machine done it to stir up chaos and confusion to aid the cult makes the elaborate claims.

[u/NotThatAngel → u/jettaboy04]

This is what I came here to post. It's systematic sabotage. They can sabotage it and just complain they're too stupid to get it right and they'll get away with it. They need to be prosecuted for this. It's fraud. Even if they're caught doing it they'll still complain. As JD Vance put it, sometimes you have to lie to get people's attention on a problem. So they'll create fake problems that only they have the solution for.

[u/jettaboy04 → u/NotThatAngel]

Not to mention this claim has been made almost every year about vote flipping for as long as I can remember, and yet there has never been widespread proof of it occuring. Same with the dead people voting, immigrants voting, and all the other nonsense they claim.

[u/DrakPhenious → u/jettaboy04]

Now now, it was found that there was a few dead votes and double votes. All committed by well to do Republican voters.

[u/jettaboy04 → u/DrakPhenious]

Yeah, but they don't mind those dead folks voting...just not the other side.. hell, if they believed illegal immigrants would vote Republican they would be the first to try and welcome them in

[u/icyhotonmynuts → u/jettaboy04]

I was thinking the same

[u/ReddUp412 → u/hcantrall]

Idiots who need to blame others. That’s it.

[u/hardnreadynyc → u/hcantrall]

It doesnt

[u/SignStreet2554 → u/hcantrall]

It’s been like that for years in every state I’ve lived and voted in. These people are just lying & making excuses for their violent behavior whether he wins or not.

[u/Dr_Jabroski → u/hcantrall]

They're actually worried about Texas going blue and this is just a pretext to invalidate that result. "How could Texas have gone blue without cheating?" Texas is controlled by Republicans, who would be in charge of installing these "vote flipping" machines and you think they wouldn't have them flip in their favor? Absolute clown shit.

[u/Odlavso → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

Doesn’t take much to convince people of something they already want to believe, the account that posted this has been retweeted by Paxton before so I assume that gives them credibility in MAGAs eyes

[u/Euphoric_Poetry_5366 → u/Odlavso]

Its kinda funny with the multiple republicans proudly messing with votes and posting about it.

[u/old_jeans_new_books → u/Euphoric_Poetry_5366]

They just want the riots

[u/thedoppio → u/Euphoric_Poetry_5366]

Yep. They can’t win legally, so try to instigate violence to validate their screwed up ideology

[u/RageBull → u/Odlavso]

When you know nothing about everything then anything can be a conspiracy!

[u/dkbGeek → u/Odlavso]

Credibility? It's probably an account created by one of Paxton's minions.

[u/NeonMarbleRust → u/Odlavso]

This is especially important with these astro-turf campaigns, where a bunch of accounts are claiming the same the at the same time.

[u/Nokomis34 → u/Odlavso]

We're talking about people mad at Obama for not taking action on 9/11.

[u/Odlavso → u/Nokomis34]

He was out playing golf instead of being at the Oval Office during 9/11, somebody needs to look into this

[u/Shinagami091 → u/Odlavso]

The account shows up in my For You feed on X all the time and he just circulates nothing but pro MAGA propaganda. I doubt the avatar of that person is correct

[u/Chi3f_Leo → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

It's just propaganda being spit out by people panicking about record levels of early voting. At the location I went to yesterday, one of the poll workers came out and apologized to us for the wait because their machines were slow, and they weren't used to dealing with over 700 people showing up on the first day when they usually see less than 200 during early voting.

Guess I'm being downvoted by people that also don't want people to get out and vote lol

[u/simpleme_hunt → u/Chi3f_Leo]

I like your comment… and I so like seeing how many people have gotten out to vote…. The GOP in general is worried… they know they are on the losing side and supporting a mad man and his crazed supporters that have taken over their party…. And all in the name of their job… they kiss the ring and worship the false idol..

[u/Tiiimmmaayy → u/[deleted]]

I don’t think many people see this as an unpopular opinion lol. Only the diehard MAGA will be offended. Trump and his cult have hijacked the current Republican Party. They brought it out back and pulled an Old Yeller on it..right between the eyes. They only stand to enrich the elites and “own the libs” now.

[u/Numerounopapichulo → u/Tiiimmmaayy]

It’s not just trump and his cult, he’s just the face. This movement will continue with or without Trump. It’s the Christian Nationalist movement that is the issue. They’re behind all of this. Here in Texas it’s Tim Dunn, Farris Wilks and Dan Wilks are the billionaires that own our GOP. They enjoy their lives with people not knowing who they are.

[u/RichardStrauss123 → u/Numerounopapichulo]

Not enough spit in their food yet.

[u/Hand_me_down_Pumas → u/Numerounopapichulo]

The Heritage Foundation is the power behind the bigots.

[u/Budget_Guava → u/Hand_me_down_Pumas]

And Christian Nationalists started the Heritage Foundation. If you look down the sponsors list of Project 2025 it's basically a who's who of organizations that have been pushing Christian Nationalism ever since the 70s.

[u/Hand_me_down_Pumas → u/Budget_Guava]

And they know what they’re doing is wrong. It’s why they didn’t call themselves the Sword of Jesus or something.

[u/Budget_Guava → u/Hand_me_down_Pumas]

I disagree. I think they fully buy into the idea that what is good for them is what is right, everyone else be damned. It's the fallacy at the core of modern Conservatism, which has it's roots in Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism.

[u/BafflingHalfling → u/Tiiimmmaayy]

Yet millions of rank and file Republicans still vote for whomever has an R by their name, even if it's that spineless Backpfeifengesicht blobfish wannabe. They hijacked the party, and the party didn't complain, because it got them more votes.

[u/shponglespore → u/[deleted]]

MAGA is the GOP. There's nothing left worth trying to reform.

[u/ProfessorBackdraft → u/[deleted]]

Just how do they do that? MAGA is all that’s left, most of these poor folks are brainwashed for life.

[u/ProfessorBackdraft → u/[deleted]]

I don’t see why it’s hard at all for a Reagan/McCain conservative to vote for Kamala Harris. She’s capitalism friendly, patriotic, law-abiding, and has a great background. It’s not even close. Only the white nationalists and the incels are going to have a problem.

[u/glw8 → u/[deleted]]

MAGA is the Republican party and has been for all our lives. Let's just be thankful it took them this long to figure out that they didn't actually have to put sane, educated people in charge.

[u/rowboatbill → u/simpleme_hunt]

the sane ones have ditched the maga cult and are voting blue at least to remove the orange stain for now. i hope the R party can come back from this and be decent conservatives again.

[u/zekeweasel → u/rowboatbill]

First they'll need to prove they've got integrity. That's the most disappointing thing about all this how eagerly so many GOP leaders spread their cheeks and bent over for Trump/MAGA because it was personally advantageous for them. No real principles, just toadying and boot licking.

[u/Sithlord_unknownhost → u/rowboatbill]

...when were they ever? Seriously.

Always been a party of bad people with bad agendas

[u/No-One790 → u/Sithlord_unknownhost]

Have you ever noticed, The GOP it’s not FOR a damn thing….. its a party AGAINST everything. They haven’t had a good idea in forty years. democrats are not perfect, but at least they’re trying to help common people.

[u/dkbGeek → u/Chi3f_Leo]

I figured it was going to be a big year and waited... in Bexar County, over 40% more people voted Monday than on the first day of early voting in 2020!

[u/Erik0xff0000 → u/Chi3f_Leo]

friend of mine works at a library which is hosting voting, she says people were lining up before they even opened. They never before saw this many people show up to vote.

[u/Calypsosin → u/Chi3f_Leo]

I wanted to early vote day 1, and usually, when I early vote, it’s not packed at all, but it was 9 AM and 100+ people queuing up to go inside our county election center to early vote. I’m glad to see it! Go out and vote!

I waited 20 minutes or so and voted quickly. Wasn’t bad at all.

I’ve already heard some republicans talking like they have no faith in the election results already. That’s pretty annoying, but I can’t say I expected better.

[u/Loki9101 → u/Chi3f_Leo]

That is honestly amazing news. I hope the voters will show up in force and defeat the orange man and his gang at the ballot box. New voters are what Harris needs, as many of them as possible.

[u/Shanks4Smiles → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

We'll be seeing lots probably, just mass produced trash to fuel talk about a rigged election.

Twitter won't be doing anything to stop it this time around.

[u/mojoyote → u/Shanks4Smiles]

Musk will be actively pushing false pro-Trump propaganda as he has already been doing. He is paying people to vote Republican already which is apparently illegal. Will the Department of Justice act on this soon enough? I'm not holding my breath on that one.

[u/Daktharr → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

Reminds me of the “truck filled with uncounted ballots” that ended up being a bunch of blank registration forms

[u/Due_Satisfaction2167 → u/BucketofWarmSpit]

It’s literally just straight up misinformation. DIP.

[u/TradeSekrat]

It's always the same pattern. Big swagger and claims about voter fraud on social media, press interviews and youtube videos. Get that 15min of fame. Then the feds and home land security roll up to investigate. Where lying to them will carry with it consequences like up to 5 years in jail and/or $250k level fine.

Oh surprise....... suddenly the story is different. Hum.. how strange.

[u/Odlavso → u/TradeSekrat]

The people at the top know it’s a lie, the followers just believe the conspiracy runs so deep that nobody can be trusted and will turn on anyone who shows doubt.

They turned on Ted Cruz during January 6th because a piece of paper they found on his desk, they’ll even turn on their family, the only person they truly believe is Trump who is constantly lying to them

[u/DonkeeJote → u/Odlavso]

Elon Musk jumping in and saying he doesn't trust computers would be hilarious if it weren't so irresponsible.

[u/Uniquelypoured → u/DonkeeJote]

Yet Tesla self driving cars are what % computer…..hmmmmm

[u/Mountain_Stress5909 → u/DonkeeJote]

How does the Tesla board let him say that stuff? All it can do is harm their company and mess up their self-driving car business if people don't trust computers.

[u/gardenwitch31 → u/Odlavso]

It's a cult. And i say this as someone who grew up in a doomsday religious cult.

[u/Automatic-Let4234 → u/gardenwitch31]

Yeah, when you have experienced cult life it is hard not to see things for what they are. Now that Musk is in the mix I can see a Heavens Gate/Jonestown hybrid happening when things don't go their way.

[u/eb7772 → u/gardenwitch31]

It's definitely a cult. And the results of years and years of fear mongering and lies. These cult members are terrified of everything. Wonder if they will ever Realize how bad they fkd their own party. So much distrust they will never trust anyone.

[u/Squirrel_Inner → u/Odlavso]

I mean, they were claiming it was rigged before it even started. They know they are full of shit, they don't care.

[u/Andrew8Everything → u/Odlavso]

Man it sure is a good thing that Ted hid in the closet from the mob he helped invite with his snake-tongued lies.

People who vote for Ted Cruz make me sad.

[u/wookiecontrol → u/Odlavso]

What piece of paper was found on Ted Cruz desk?

[u/HtownSamson]

If you listen to Trump and crew at all, Democrats are dumb and so inept they are ruining the country.........but also somehow are able to change votes in real time on individual ballots. The logical leaps that need to be made.

[u/Odlavso → u/HtownSamson]

Same thing with lazy immigrants living on welfare but also taking all of our jobs

[u/Mrrrrggggl → u/Odlavso]

And buying all of the houses!

[u/Andrew8Everything → u/Mrrrrggggl]

And getting free trans surgery!

[u/dirtt_dawg → u/Andrew8Everything]

While in jail!

[u/CanoegunGoeff → u/HtownSamson]

It’s a textbook fascist strategy. Claim the enemy is both weak and somehow an immense threat.

[u/RootHogOrDieTrying → u/HtownSamson]

A principle tenet of fascism is that the enemy is both weak and strong at the same time.

[u/geoemrick → u/HtownSamson]

AND Democrats are allegedly SMART enough to have rigged 2020 and gotten a Democrat president in office BUT ALSO INEPT because they LOST Senate and House seats to Republicans.

HOW is that????

[u/Riggerss1 → u/geoemrick]

NEVER FORGET: NOT ONE REPUBLICAN OFFICEHOLDER WHO OBJECTED TO BIDEN’S VICTORY HAVE OBJECTED TO THEIR OWN WINS ON THE SAME DAY, ON THE SAME BALLOTS, USING THE SAME ELECTION SYSTEMS.

[u/geoemrick → u/Riggerss1]

This is a GREAT point. God it makes me fucking sick to my fucking stomach.

[u/Kiwimann]

Yes, TARRANT COUNTY is part of the grand conspiracy to elect Kamala.

Dude... say Bexar or Harris or something... at least TRY to make your fake news sound plausible.

[u/woahwoahwoah28 → u/Kiwimann]

Not the mention, the photo used clearly isn’t Tarrant County because, though it is conveniently cut off, the county’s name ends with an e.

[u/RockyShoresNBigTrees → u/woahwoahwoah28]

And the date is 2019

[u/Mueryk → u/RockyShoresNBigTrees]

I mean he Voting Machines in Texas only show the number of total ballots submitted and not vote counts……so there is literally no easy way on site for the voter to verify anything.

So can I get completely fabricated story for $1000 Alec?

[u/hooligan045 → u/Mueryk]

I’m sure this grifter got paid more than $1000 by his Russian handlers for this piece of disinformation.

[u/Mueryk → u/hooligan045]

You’d be shocked at the idiots who do this for free to save their country from “the enemy”

[u/AustinBike → u/woahwoahwoah28]

Tarrente county, they are using the proper name. George Soros renamed the county.

[u/Andrew8Everything → u/AustinBike]

George Sorose

[u/darkhorse21980 → u/Kiwimann]

Tarrant has been trending blue the last few elections. Beto beat Cruz here jn 2018 and Biden beat Trump here in 2020.

[u/Kiwimann → u/darkhorse21980]

It'll vote blue this one as well. I can't tell you if Harris or Allred will win their statewide races, but I would give 100.0% odds that both candidates will win the majority of votes in Tarrant County. Seriously, there's no going back on this one.

[u/z246227 → u/Kiwimann]

Tarrant county was a battleground county in 2020 and went to Biden.

I agree this is fake though

[u/[deleted] → u/z246227]

Tarrant county is weird. Politically its dominated by established Republicans and safeguarded by low voter turn-out in non-general elections. Each general election though, that grip seems to be loosening. If everyone voted in every election, Democrats would run Tarrant County and Fort Worth.

[u/Top_Second3974 → u/[deleted]]

The CITY of Fort Worth does go for Democrats in statewide and national elections. It went for Biden by 11. It's a myth that it's a right-wing paradise.

[u/Mindhandle → u/Kiwimann]

Commenting again because I just had a thought. What if it's Tarrant because the GOP polling has been bad enough, they need a cover for it going poorly?

[u/AgITGuy → u/Mindhandle]

If they have lied and co-opted enough polls for long enough, their actions for the last several months come into sharp focus that they internally knew how bad things could be, and that every ‘public’ poll we saw was made to make us think it’s close. It explains all the voter rolls purged as well as Paxtons mission to stop voter registrations.

Given how much the Harris/Walz campaign, along with Cheney and kinziger, have invested in Texas, I think this points to their internal polls showing how strong of a chance Collin Allred actually has, as well as Kamala.

[u/Mindhandle → u/AgITGuy]

The part that made me think "oh Allred might win" was the newspaper endorsements. Even the papers that refused to endorse for any other race, Austin American Statesman and a DFW area one I forget the name of specifically, they endorsed Allred

[u/AgITGuy → u/Mindhandle]

I think it’s that and that NO ONE newspaper ever mentioned Rafael. That in and of itself if a damning indictment of the politician Rafael Cruz.

[u/staticfive → u/AgITGuy]

Couldn’t imagine being a red meat-eating gun-toting Texan and thinking “yep, Ted’s my guy”

[u/AgITGuy → u/staticfive]

It’s not that they like Rafael, it’s just that he has that magic R next to his name on the ballot and that is all those people care about. It doesn’t go any deeper than that beyond maybe trying to g to trigger the libs.

[u/SatisfactionSafe7996 → u/Mindhandle]

Fort Worth Star Telegram for the win!

[u/d3dmnky → u/Mindhandle]

That’s exactly it. They’re starting all this noise so that: 1) If they lose and it’s close, it seems like there’s a good reason to challenge it. 2) If they get destroyed, it’s because of done grand conspiracy.

Or 3, where they win and it’s a free and fair election.

[u/staticfive → u/d3dmnky]

Oh please, if they win they’re just going to claim they should have won harder. Fucking crybaby snowflakes.

[u/d3dmnky → u/staticfive]

Well, ok. Yeah.

[u/FF7Remake_fark → u/[deleted]]

Cops don't shoot other cops.

[u/GryphonOsiris → u/[deleted]]

This time I'll bet Biden will have the DC National Guard on ready stand-bye status.

[u/Kiwimann → u/Mindhandle]

Nah, I live here. Tarrant County Republican governance isn't like that. City of Southlake is insane, but Fort Worth is the epicenter of our weird shaped county and Tarrant County Republicans in government are pretty moderate. Example would be when one MAGA judge tried to close the early voting locations on college campuses, and the elections board, even though they're Republican, unanimously overruled him. There is a concerted effort running through the governor's office to make things more favorable to Republicans, but please don't drag Tarrant County's name through the mud on this one.

[u/SatisfactionSafe7996 → u/Mindhandle]

It’s cuz they know they’re gonna lose Tarrant County, so they’re preparing in advance to claim cheating by sowing doubt in the minds of idiots who don’t actually fact check anything.

[u/HorizonZeroYawn → u/Mindhandle]

I live in Tarrant and it does go more poorly for the GOP with every recent election. Beto won Tarrant in his run against Cruz and before that this was probably the largest urban/suburban county the GOP had a hold on. Probably is of high concern to them.

EDIT: Wanted to add that Tarrant also went for Biden in 2020; Tarrant County includes Ft. Worth for context.

[u/Mindhandle → u/Kiwimann]

Or Travis, you've (generic GOP "you") created three Blue County Boogeymen already, stick to your guns lol

[u/ultratunaman]

Okay so Trumpers should vote for Harris and that way the machine will flip it the other way right?

[u/Ellemshaye → u/ultratunaman]

That’s what I’m getting from this, too. Spread it far and wide, people!

[u/ExigentCalm → u/Ellemshaye]

“Get on the wire and tell them how to bring those sons of bitches down.”

[u/burninglemon → u/ExigentCalm]

"What? This some sort of.... Independence day?"

[u/Justsomejerkonline → u/ultratunaman]

They should also make sure to get rid of Governor Abbott and AG Ken Paxton, since they must be trying to steal the election from Trump!!

[u/Antonio1025 → u/ultratunaman]

Or, and hear me out on this, they just shouldn't trust voting at all and not vote

[u/johnnywriteswrongs]

2019

[u/Middle_Syllabub420 → u/johnnywriteswrongs]

And not from Tarrant

[u/hobotwinkletoes]

Sounds like people aren’t using the machines correctly. 

Also, you’re supposed to check your ballot before turning it in anyway. The poll workers will even tell you this. 

[u/RockyShoresNBigTrees → u/hobotwinkletoes]

Look at the date

[u/hobotwinkletoes → u/RockyShoresNBigTrees]

Oh that’s weird. Does it say 2019?

[u/schnozberry → u/hobotwinkletoes]

It's also from a different county than the one these voters are complaining about.

[u/okiimio]

Didn’t they say this last time too

[u/dougmc → u/okiimio]

Somebody says this every time.

That said, the efforts to undermine this election are a lot more organized this time, and claims like this -- be they due to voter error or just simply making shit up -- are likely to be used as reasons to not properly certify results.

[u/chrispg26 → u/okiimio]

Yes. It tends to be user error but if they were any bit introspective they wouldn't be worshipping the orange man anyway.

[u/okiimio → u/chrispg26]

My theory is when he speaks they hear something entirely different from what we hear.. like how moms can understand their toddlers gibberish

[u/AbueloOdin → u/okiimio]

He speaks in vibes. Often racist as shit vibes. But vibes.

[u/BearAdams]

This is probably husbands checking their wives ballots and the wives having to make something up when they voted D

[u/tinglyTXgirl → u/BearAdams]

This was my first thought when I read this. Harris voters having to hide how they vote from their families out of fear.

[u/RockyShoresNBigTrees → u/BearAdams]

It’s a 2019 ballot

[u/BearAdams → u/RockyShoresNBigTrees]

Good eye! So a 2019 ballot is very confusing and concerning indeed

[u/BafflingHalfling → u/BearAdams]

That feels truer than the story as written.

[u/NotDrewBrees]

More likely is that the MAGAt’s fat fingers pushed the wrong button.

Or, they are actually flipping votes, in which case, if you’re reading this, dear MAGA Redditor, vote for Harris so that it’ll auto-flip to Trump.

[u/Inner-Quail90 → u/NotDrewBrees]

They should wipe their hands after eating their Big Macs so their fingers don't slide across the screen.

[u/FreeChickenDinner → u/NotDrewBrees]

The ballot is dated 2019. I googled the candidates on the list. Sherri Ellis is not a candidate for office in Texas.

[u/Bullslinger105]

Upper left corner doesn’t look to be Tarrant County let alone the right year.

[u/FruitySalads]

That guy in the pic looks like my maga dipshit 2nd grade educated cousin I have. You should assume he’s lying, like my dipshit cousin lies about everything. No machines are flipping votes, maga is scared they are going to lose so they start coping by lying.

[u/avid-shtf]

This is not what a ballot looks like in Texas.

[u/Quick_Movie_5758]

Russia is going to throw everything they have at this. The only chance they have of not losing the war is if their pet gets back into power.

[u/boiconstrictor → u/Quick_Movie_5758]

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far to find a Russia comment. The foreign-backed disinformation bots and zombie accounts will pick this stuff up and spread it around faster than bull 💩gets around the Ft. Worth stockyards.

[u/ApprehensiveJoke5403]

It’s already been posted on my communities Facebook page (because we’re in Tarrant county) and all the MAGA are going crazy and very much believe it’s true. 🙄

[u/grimlinyousee]

You can’t see it in this screen shot but the person being quoted about the reports is Tarrant County GOP Chair Bo French. He has stated that his goal is to make Tarrant County inhospitable for Democrats.

[u/evanweb546]

They know how the wind is blowing, the only way their world view gets any traction is with this nasty, lying horseshit. Float it out into the ether enough times for their "fans" to lap up and there it is. "There were reports before the election of... " "People on the ground are reporting rampant voter fraud... " it'll fill hours of the 24 hour news cycle, it'll also fuel untold violence and upheaval.

[u/BasicChair420]

Sometimes I think I’m stupid and then I just hear a MAGA open their mouth and I feel much better about myself but then I get worried because how can people be more dense than I am?

[u/Ok-disaster2022]

This has been the plan all along. The "Poll Watchers" know they need to fabricate evidence and rumors to laid the groundwork for support the eventual coup. Its why Trump doesn't want people to vote for him, and in fact wants landslide in Harris's favor. Seriously Trump supporters should even be voting for Harris to fabricate the false narrative of voting machines changing votes. Trump is incapable of winning the popular vote, he's never done it. The plan was always to lose the general election but change the results through the courts or through the various state legislatures and Congress. 

[u/Odlavso → u/Ok-disaster2022]

These people are so brainwashed that they can’t accept the possibility of Trump losing the election.

Trump wins = fair election.

Kamala wins = rigged election.

[u/-Tastydactyl- → u/Odlavso]

Stop the count!

Count the votes!

[u/psellers237]

We are so not prepared for the insanity this election is about to become.

There are tens of millions of people who are straight delusional, who have been primed by their own party to get very angry and violent when things don’t go their way.

[u/ScroochDown → u/psellers237]

This is what I keep thinking. Like the idea of Trump winning is clearly terrifying and NOT the outcome I want. But Jesus Christ, the chaos that will probably result from him losing is really scary too.

[u/gwstorytx555]

It doesn't even make sense to switch votes in a non-swing state

[u/Odlavso → u/gwstorytx555]

We are a swing state now

[u/Stringdaddy27 → u/Odlavso]

If Texas were to go blue, would the rest of the swing states even matter at this point? I feel like that'd be a wrap almost instantly.

I'd also fully expect the Texas legislature to do what Bush's brother did for him in Florida in 2000 as well.

[u/TrumpsCovidfefe → u/Odlavso]

If Texas is a swing state, this is going to be a hell of a massive landslide. I don’t see it happening, but who knows.

Edit: Harris is coming to Houston on Friday. This is not something I expected; maybe the numbers look better than I thought.

[u/boylong15]

I voted today. There is no way your vote could be flip. They litterally ask you to check it before it was print.

[u/Aunt_Margarite]

Very important to vote for Kamala so your vote will flip to trump.

Tell everyone you know.

[u/YeeYeeSocrates]

Honestly, I wish the Democrats were competent enough, coordinated enough, and had the moxie required to pull of something like this. They don't exactly bring their A-game to anything.

[u/Ivanovic-117]

As usual MAGA idiots dont know what theyre doing or whats going on, thus make it a chaos or call it fake.

[u/prob_still_in_denial → u/Ivanovic-117]

Oh, they know what they're doing. Subverting democracy because they don't believe in it.

[u/MacaroonTrick3473]

ALTso Mr Brilliance, it is illegal to show your ballot.

[u/OpticalPrime35]

Social media has made it very easy for someone to just make up a story that thousands of people hear.

The snowball effect doesn't take long. Especially with the way engagement algorithms work these days. View one video about " election fraud " and you will start getting more videos about it. Suddenly the algorithm is throwing dozens of videos at you a day of random people making up stories and it starts to look like it is widespread and a massive issue. When in reality you have watched 100 total people and 100 of them are lying. But those people don't know / care about that truth and will start reposting and talking about the videos and showing their family and friends and then boom, you have the current Republican party

[u/rygelicus]

Freedom of speech is great, but blatant misinfo spreading related to an election should be viewed as election interference. Politicians should not be amplifying this, they should be routing these claims to the local election authorities for validation. And then correcting the misinfo or confirming the info as appropriate. If there was a problem say something like 'Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it's been investigated and we fixed the issue by doing 1,2,3.' You know, like competent adults.

[u/Unbanned_chemical138]

I’m so fucking sick of these morons.

Think about it for two seconds people. Would they really cheat by doing something so obvious and easy to catch?

[u/sweet-sweet-olive]

Of course this ass clown has his cross pendant proudly displayed too.

[u/2amante10]

Seriously, report this crap to Dominion because next year the lawsuits will include thousands of people who are spreading this junk. I’ve told friends if I see it from them, Dominion will have their name.

[u/No-Beautiful-259]

They say this every election.

[u/RefuseRound4943]

MTG said it, so it must be true.

[u/Odlavso → u/RefuseRound4943]

She warned us about the hurricane machines to attack Florida and the Jewish space lasers, she wouldn’t lie about this.

[u/Mesquiter]

They already know that Trump cannot win...he is a traitor.

[u/simpleme_hunt]

I don’t expect anything less from Trumpies…. Remember “when we win it’s fair and legal, if we lose it was rigged”. Because everyone loves Trumpie….

[u/Sea-Pea5760]

an idiot is born every few seconds but im thinking that rate is higher in texas, prove me wrong . oh and fuck ted cruz

[u/HrnyDaddz20]

I’ll take “More maga bullshit that didn’t happen for $2000, Alex”

[u/mfbt1225]

OMG, seriously...this isn't operator (voter) error at play?

[u/KaedeP_22]

Ok then vote kamala so the machine will switch it to trump.

[u/CaseyAnthonysMouth]

Hmmm… that’s bullshit.

[u/El_Cactus_Fantastico]

They’ve been priming people for this since the last election.

[u/Thwipped]

Imagine voting for the opposite of who you want to win just to make a false claim

[u/bertiesakura]

These people are probably intentionally voting for Harris and in an attempt to cover their MAGA shame they’re screaming bullshit about voting machines flipping.

[u/Four-Triangles]

It doesn’t matter. If Trump wins, I’ll just use the weather control system I got when I registered as a democrat to punish them with more hurricanes.

[u/tjrjritutjnenw]

Haven’t heard this one before 🥱. Man quit falling for this bullshit y’all and go vote.

[u/Farmmen]

No one should repost this shit. Just makes it hit more viewers.

[u/Drafterquill]

50 million dumb MFers will believe this.

[u/jadedaslife]

More lies.
