Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It scares the shit out of me that states like Texas, which is run by knuckle-dragging cowboys, have voting systems that are less secure than a vending machine. And the votes counted by those systems are included with MY vote to decide who MY President is going to be.

The scam is to send disinformation to voters. They may be told the wrong place to vote, wrong instructions for mailing voting, or be told they're registered when they're not.
