A GOP primary in Texas has sparked concerns over attempts to move away from electronic ballots.

Republican efforts to hand count ballots in a seemingly low-profile Texas county primary election has led to a number of errors.

Gillespie County Republicans, led by Chairman Bruce Campbell, decided months ago to hand-count more than 8,000 ballots for the county GOP primary on March 5. Campbell then declared the results completely accurate and certified before, less than an hour after that certification, reversing course and saying discrepancies were found.

“It’s my mistake for not catching that,” Cambell said on Thursday while sitting inside the county election administration office. “I can’t believe I did that.”

The kerfuffle over ballot counting comes after a November rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump was solidified in primaries last week.

        Apparently the results from that poling station were annulled and the members of that local election commission were fired. Not sure this is proof of any widespread voter fraud in Russia.

        The video in the social media posts is CCTV footage taken in Lyubertsy in the Moscow Region of Russia in March 2018 during the Russian presidential election. After the video circulated online, election results from that polling station were annulled and the chairman of the local election commission and a member of the election commission were fired, according to the Washington Post.

        edit: also getting down voted for asking for a source is hilarious 🤣

          How about the continued election tallies claiming 80%-90% voted for Putin? That seems like a major red flag

          Even if it isn’t, Putin “winning” 88% of the vote after eliminating all rivals one way or the other certainly doesn’t indicate a free and fair election.

          Shilling for Russia and pretending their elections are transplant with fraud and completely rigged is why you’re getting downvoted

          Nah, you’re getting downvoted because you think there’s no voter fraud in russia.

          Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
