Republican Supreme Court justice candidate who is contesting the Texas vote
totals
due to widespread anomolies in virtually every county studied.

one of the many noteworthy Texas vote snafus: this one in Tarrant
County, which gave 100,000 extra votes

the computer specialist
called in to hack Pennsylvania's Sequoia machines
and who found so many
flaws that the tests were called off.

And last but certainly not least, the Texas county at the mercy of ES&S. Despite all the screw-ups, when
the county wanted to withhold payment until the problems were fixed to their
satisfaction, ES&S
refused to help them in their run-off elections. If the county used paper ballots for the run-off instead, they faced sanctions for not complying with federal election standards and the loss of federal funding for the voting equipment.
