From the day's Comms chatterWhat's going around
Touchscreen voting machines are flipping votes from one party's candidates to the other's, and voters should expect it at the polls today.
Spreading on Facebook, X and TikTok posts and videos, continuing into Election Day.
What the record says
- No evidence of switching Snopes found no sign of a software bug or fraud scheme.
- Usual cause NBC News: problems are not evidence of a conspiracy and can be fixed before counting. Poynter: officials cite touchscreen sensitivity or voter error.
- Review step PolitiFact via Poynter: Bexar County voters could check ballots before finalizing.
- Union City video An official told Hudson County View neither machine was compromised.
Bottom lineUnsupported. Officials cite touch sensitivity or voter error.
