This has been a problem in Texas since at least 2010. The Republican state government doesn't give a single fuck about fixing it.

The article makes no mention of republicans having anything to do with it and clearly attributes it to glitches in the software that have not been fixed. It also says votes for Cruz are just not being counted.

Republicans control the state and therefore all things voting related are handled by them.

He won't. I rekt him in another topic earlier when he tried to say "banning platforms for alt right racists will just make them angrier and more violent" while at the same time trying to claim "people who post alt right nonsense online are just blatant trolls who don't mean it." And he was never seen again.

Your first point isn't entirely true, as for O'Rourke's votes they appear to being changed to Ted Cruz, while the Cruz votes being changed are put as no selection, meaning Cruz still comes out on top as he's getting SOME form of votes, while O'Rourke isn't.

It's fucked up and shouldn't be happening to either candidate, but one of the candidates is still getting something out of it while the other is not.

I don't know how it's a huge advantage if, assuming some degree of randomness, he's losing votes at the same rate he's gaining them. Beyond that, my initial comment was about how the article makes it clear this is a software bug that's impacting all candidates and not some GOP plot like the TC intended, which is still true after Machete's comment.

While Beto is only losing votes. It's not that hard to understand how it favors one over the other.

That's a fair point. Although, the article also mentions that there is a second confirmation screen that voters have to press before their vote is logged, meaning there is at least opportunity for people to see that things are wrong.

Really though, I have no idea how some of these companies are still in business. A voting machine isn't even complicated, so having bugs of this nature ten years after being deployed is reason enough for me to buy into having to go back to paper ballots.

That still ends up only helping Cruz as no votes are being changed to O'Rourke.

Voters must verify that the machine correctly recorded their votes before they are logged in a confirmation screen.

How about you take a second to see if your vote went through?

100% agreed. Voting machine companies should be run completely out of business. It's objectively clear that they do not operate as marketed and designed. All ballots need to be verifiable.
