Today is primary day in Texas.
There were long lines at the voting precinct, but it may not any busier than usual. The reason for the lines is the change in voting procedures. Evidently, the people in Austin decided to foolproof the process, but it sure seems longer now.
Maybe because it is new? It isn't hard to vote with this new fangled thing. What it does is print out your vote as a backup for the digital part. In order to get that result, you have to feed a sheet of paper into a machine, then make your choices as usual. When finished, you cast your vote, and the paper is printed out. Then you take the paper to another machine, which records the vote and drops the paper ballot into a secure box.
I suppose all of this was done because of what the Democrats are claiming about Russia, but it seems to be unnecessary to me. Nevertheless, it is hard to see how anyone can claim fraud with this system, but they'll try anyway I suppose.
