This won't be a long article because it has just two key points:
1. 280,000 votes would be pretty easy to flip. We have seen it before in Ohio in 2000 and in 2004, when John Diebold was both chairman of the Bush campaign and owner of the company that made the voting machines.

"This race helped generate massive early turnout in Texas, as 4.8 million Texas voters -- who make up 39.86 percent of the registered voters in Texas's 30 largest counties -- headed to the polls before Election Day."
