26. Yes. Approach with caution.

Ted Cruz had high unfavorables in Texas, and he still won. Cornyn is likely to win also because of the red, red, rural and small town population, in spite of the fact that he does nothing for Texans.

The possibility for voter suppression or outright cheating is high here. In the Beto-Cruz election, the Secretary of State was aware of an issue with the voting machines in around 70 counties where voters who chose a straight Democratic ticket saw their vote from Beto switched to Cruz—the only change. Voters who did not review their final votes did not know this, and who knows how many votes went to Cruz that were intended for Beto. Voters who checked their final votes noticed the discrepancy and took photos of the ballot to share with the public. The Secretary of State called it just voter error, but this issue of switching Democratic votes to Republicans had been known with the machines for over a decade!

Here in Austin we have new voting machines. I don’t know whether the other countries have replaced their machines. But with Republican state officials in charge of elections, I’m always wary.
