      This is a nightmare scenario for DRE voting machines and a compelling reason to eliminate them. An error like this, even if detected, can mean there is no way to determine after the fact what the voters’ intended choices were. “Recounting” doesn’t help.https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1055912575093792768 …

      Texas election officials confirmed that voting machines used in 30% of its counties (including its biggest) are switching people’s votes, including the Senate race between Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke. The GOP-appointed officials say they have "no legal authority" to update them. pic.twitter.com/UGui2ox15H

      Not enough information to determine what happened here, but there are several plausible possibilities, including malicious tampering, a software bug, or a provisioning or ballot definition error. DRE machines lend themselves to such problems, which can be fatal to an election.

      If I had to GUESS (and it would only be a guess at this point), I’d pick a ballot definition error as the most likely cause here. But that’s only one of a number of plausible scenarios that could cause this behavior.

      Even if the final screen shows the names of the candidates for whom the ballot will be cast, this is still an unrecoverable error. A straight party voter might not KNOW the names of individual candidates on a party ticket, but want to vote for whoever the D or R is in each race.

      ... so that means a bug like this (whatever the underlying cause) can mean there’s no way to know what the voters’ true intentions were. Again, this is the nightmare scenario for DRE failure.

      Could we at least get a rough estimate by looking at ballots where the voter voted a straight democratic ticket except for Cruz? Or is that kind of query impossible after the fact?

          Depends. Not sure what’s recorded on this model and configuration.

          This might be a thing where lawsuits allow reviews to be done, but it would be a messy situation.
