Good grief America...
So, there are reports coming out that one type of electronic voting machine is changing results. In this case, it was changing results from Cruz to Rourke in Texas. However, this is not a case of deliberate fraud. Rather, it's that the machine takes a while to notice that it's updated to the next page, and applies any button presses to the previous page. Apparently, this issue was well known by the company that produces the machines, and their response can be summed up as 'it's your own fault for voting too fast.'
Anyone that's using a machine to vote, be sure to check your choices before hitting okay one last time.
... A PIECE OF PAPER WITH BOXES ON IT! THAT'S ALL YOU NEED! HOW CAN YOU FUCK THIS UP SO UTTERLY?!
And don't even get me started on sending busloads of people around to commit voter fraud. Any half-competent system would be able to spot this and stop it influencing final results, but America somehow continues its noble history of sticking its dick in a woodchipper...
