About the Voting Machines Flipping Votes, in addition to the Video headlining this story, I present several different articles on this subject, as follows:
From US News and World Report, By Claire Hansen, Contributor"-
SOME EARLY VOTERS IN Texas have said that voting machines flipped their selections when they tried to vote straight-ticket, including in the state's high-profile Senate race, the secretary of state's office said Friday.
Voters reported issues with Hart eSlate machines, which are used in about 30 percent of Texas counties, according to the Associated Press. People from both major political parties have reportedly complained that when they make a selection designed to let them choose all candidates from a given party at once, the machines in some cases have chosen a candidate from another party. The secretary of state's office, however, said the mishaps were due to user error.
"The Hart eSlate machines are not malfunctioning, the problems being reported are a result of user error -- usually voters hitting a button or using the selection wheel before the screen is finished rendering," Sam Taylor, spokesman for the secretary of state's office, told the AP.
The Hart eSlate machines don't provide voting receipts and are used in about 80 counties, including those that encompass Houston, Austin and Fort Worth.

GQ magazine, by Jay Willis:
Why Are Texas Voting Machines Switching Democratic Votes to Ted Cruz (and Vice Versa)?Early voting in Texas began on Monday, but some Texans who showed up to cast a ballot were met with a rude surprise: Despite opting to vote straight-ticket for candidates of a single party, their voting machines tried to disobey their express instructions in certain races. This means, for example, that folks who intended to vote for Democrats found themselves staring at a screen commemorating their alleged support for Ted Cruz instead.
