i found this posted on another message board, so i thought i should show everyone here. i mean, it says texas but i wouldn't be surprised if this happened elsewhere:

Here's an important heads up ...

Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed she had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres.

She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected. She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters.
They took all her information, and told her that she wasn't the first to report a similar incident and that they are looking into it.

So check before you leave the polling booth, and if anything is wrong, get it corrected immediately. Report any irregularities to your
local Democratic headquarters. Make sure you pass this along to your friends ... hopefully this is all over the airwaves by tomorrow ...

The Texas voting fraud is for real.
I called the Austin office (Dem. Nat. Comm.) 512-637-1737
and they said that it has been happening a lot. They don't know why but the machines seem more "sensitive" this year and that every voter MUST check their summary as the presidential choice often rolls over to the republican choice if you vote straight
democrat

Here is their website.

I did a bit of hunting about this. From outward appearances it would appear just to be an urban legend, a made up story designed to scare people about the GOP. I was not able to find ANY references to it at all either Yes it was true or no it was not.

Due to lack of ANY referece at all to it, I'm still inclined to believe it was a hoax but I won't call it either way.

the only thing i saw after i read this was an interview with the lady in question on CNN or something, i was passing by the t.v. so i didn't catch the whole story.
