Bexar County (San Antonio) uses a different brand of voting machines, but complaints from concerned voters are still coming in amid concern for voting problems with the Hart eSlate machines, said elections administrator Jacque Callanen. When voters cast straight ticket ballots, the machines leave blank any race in which their favored party doesn't have a candidate, she said.
"Every time we have a straight party election, we have that confusion," said Callanen. This is the last major election Texans will have the choice to vote straight ticket. The Legislature opted to ban the practice beginning in the 2020 election.

These serious errors appeared in the Arizona Senate Election as well. In a report from KGUN-TV in Tucscon:
Another batch of ballots just posted to the official count from the Arizona Secretary of State, and it's changing the race for Senate. Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is inching ahead of Republican Martha McSally for the first time since election night, holding a lead of just 0.1 percent with less than 2,000 votes, according results posted on the Arizona Secretary of State's website. Hundreds of thousands of ballots remain to be counted in the race. An official with the Arizona Secretary of State's office says the latest batch of about 130,000 ballots came from Maricopa County, leaving about 350,000 still to be counted. Kyrsten Sinema has a slight lead in that county so far. Officials in Pima County said Wednesday more than 80,000 ballots still need to be counted there. Sinema holds a strong lead there, so far, with 55 percent to McSally's 43 percent.
South Carolina voters say machines 'flipped' their votes
The voters began to complain after they said their candidate picks, including in the governor's race, did not match those on their final ballot submission, CBS station WLTX reported. One person told the station that she tried to correct her vote several times before a poll worker took her to another machine so she could cast her vote.
Richland County elections director Rokey Suleman said no votes were switched and blamed the malfunctions on a calibration issue with the voting machines. He told the station that if the touchscreen calibration is off, it could make an unintended selection. He cautioned voters to review their final selection page to ensure it reflects their correct picks.
Suleman said polling places in the county have also reported problems with flashcards, electrical cords and non-functioning outlets. He said the voting machines are usually recalibrated several times on Election Day. The complaints in South Carolina follow similar reports at the end of October about voting machine glitches in Texas.
