http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/trump-texas-vote-fraud-230384 So, apparently word of the Texas voting machine problems have reached Trumps ears.

The officials seem to be claiming unintuitive machine design rather than hard/software problems, which seems like a convenient exuse as they didn't actually say that they ruled out hardware/software issues.

I guess Texan Bay12ers can corroborate whether it seems to be bad machine design or not....

CTR= Committee (or Council) of Texas Republicans?

Also, Snopes checked it out and they didn't find any evidence of it.

Well, unintuitive design and user error. Though the two feed into each other, heh. Like how snopes went, "Yeah, we found sod all." Seems to happen a lot when it comes to this stuff.

Also kind of unusual (AFAIK) for a foriegn countries political party to do that kind of thing towards another countries election season. Typically I'd say butt out, but at least they do it lightheartedly.

Be plenty easy to cast a vote for Hillary, all the rest Republicans, then loudly proclaim that the machine is "rigged", especially when you support a candidate pushing a narrative that the election is rigged. Just sayin. Maybe some people want to help push that narrative.

We probably should fully expect the social media platforms to be on fire with trolls claiming 'RIGG'DDDD!!' on Election Day with a candidate actively pushing that agenda. Maybe not 'on fire' neccesarily, but claims could very well be rampant. Especially given that there will be people actively looking for evidence of such without adjusting for confirmation bias.

But, but, but...

You know he's not going to win. Who do you hate more: Trump or Clinton? Vote for the other one. Otherwise, you're throwing your vote away. I guess that's fine, but why are you even voting then?

Maryland (where maniac lives), like California (where I live), is a state that is a safe Democrat state, even more so than California actually. Besides, theres plenty of other stuff BESIDES the Presidential ticket to vote on, Senator (some states), Governor (some states), House representatives, local and statewide elections, and various other things that are on the ballot.

So he's throwing his vote away, since it doesn't really matter. Okay.
