Early voting for straight Republican tickets in Texas and Pennsylvania 
have resulted in votes for Hillary Clinton for president. My wife knows 
(personally) three people whom this happened to.

ES&S has acknowledged the "glitch" and is supposed to fix it today. 
Meanwhile emergency paper ballots have been printed.

Texas County Enacts "Emergency Paper Ballots" After "Software Glitch" In 
Voting Machines

Just yesterday we noted several social media complaints from Texas voters 
who alleged that when they voted a straight republican ticket that voting 
machines were switching their presidential selection to Clinton/Kaine.  
While most undoubtedly dismissed these reports as conspiracy theories, 
new official reports from Chambers County, Texas suggest that there might 
be some truth to the voting machine "irregularities".  According to an 
NBC affiliate, polling stations in Chambers County had to enact emergency 
protocols yesterday and revert back to paper ballots after a "glitch" was 
discovered in the county's voting machines. 

The issue was actually discovered on Monday morning when Chambers County 
Clerk Heather Hawthorne was casting her own ballot and the voter next to 
her noticed that one of her votes was not filled in when she reviewed her 
electronic ballot Hawthorne told 12 News on Tuesday.

An error in the voting machine programming by Election Systems & Software 
(ES&S) caused votes for one statewide court of appeals race not to be 
entered when a voter tried to vote straight ticket in either party 
according to a release from Chambers County.

ES&S is the vendor that Chambers County contracts with to program their 
voting machines.

The Texas Secretary of State's office informed Hawthorne to create 
emergency paper ballots to continue voting until the problem could be 
fixed according to the release.

I noticed they recently changed Texas to a "toss-up" state. Gee, I wonder 
why.
