Bexar County responds to complaints of voting machines changing selections
Key Points:
- Bexar County election officials are investigating voter complaints that touchscreen voting machines changed selections during early voting and are working with the manufacturer to assess the situation.
- Officials say the issue is likely due to touchscreen sensitivity rather than equipment malfunction and advise voters to press firmly and carefully review their selections on screen and printed ballots.
- Voters are urged to notify poll workers immediately if their printed ballot does not match their intended choices, but once a ballot is cast, selections cannot be changed.
- Earlier in the week, ballot discrepancies were reported in East Central and Edgewood independent school districts, with East Central ISD voters missing a district proposition due to incorrect state district information, which has since been corrected.
