Oh I don't listen to anything except the folks that I know. There are some conservative/mostly Christian groups on there. You get to know the mad libs very quickly as well. Anyways, it was just a conversation started about the votes being flipped on one person and having to go back and change them back. then a few others chimed in and said the same thing happened to them. Nobody claimed a party affiliation at the time.

As I have stated before --I live in Calif ( vote repub ) ---- in 2020 , we voted in person at a local library . Probably 8-9 in line to register , with another 5-6 still voting . On the registration paperwork that the people checked off --- you could easily see how my wife and I were registered ---republicans . 5 ladies doing the registration . The two ladies registering us , both get up , leave the area , and through a door to a back room . When they come out , two guys are following them each carrying a bucket full of sharpies . My wife and I go to the voting booth's and these two guy follow us --- and ONLY us , and insist on us using sharpies and not the pens we came with . we said no , they keep insisting . I advise them on the Calif ballot it clearly stated NO FELT PENS . They still insisted . Eventually we said OK . They only went to us ---- none of the other people that registered at the same time ----just us .
I am 100% certain our votes were not counted at all . Unless we get a receipt on exactly how the machine tallied our vote --- we will never know . Just having a website were it says they received your ballot , you still have no idea how they counted your ballot on each vote . Totally broken system and they know how to manipulate the count . Then why did you agree? They would have had to throw me out. They were intimidating you at a polling place. They made you use unapproved instruments to mark your vote. in hindsight , your totally right . They tried the same thing in our local elections this past June --- this time it was an elderly lady and the first time she asked I politely told her no , then she insisted and it got verbally ugly . Can't wait to see what happens this time . I will say , on a positive note ---- the machines were new in 2020 , and they didn't show how you were voting . This past june , it was the same machine ---only this time it asked you to confirm how you voted on each item ---it had an LCD screen showing your selection and to confirm yes or no for each selection . I would still like a paper receipt showing how I voted . Hopefully people from EIPCA are there this time . Not sure if Texas has poll watchers or not

I just voted, 3 machines, and not a single physical ballot insight. I'm not gonna say who I voted for, but I'll give you a hint, there were no D or I votes.

Intimidation at the polls, yes, voices would have gotten really loud had I been singled out for something that looked suspicious "by the volunteers working there."
I'd suspect all of us believe/know funny business happens during election voting/counting.
Security or cops will have to be called if this happens to me, "and," I will raise such a ruckus that other like-minded voters who happen to be there will probably speak up as well.
Addendum: I voted a little while ago at a community clubhouse. Everything went alright. As I was driving up, a young boy/girl, "I honestly could not tell which) of about 20, was pulling up Beto signs and putting them on the ends of the rows so that beto would be more visible. After moving two, maybe three signs, he/she got in his/her truck and drove off. At first I thought it was a volunteer putting out signs, but realized this person was only moving beto signs to be more visible. Once he/she drove off, I realized that person must have just voted, and afterwards decided he/she would make his/her voice heard more. This kid definitely had a scowl look on his/her face.

Addendum II: As to the topic question, "is my vote truly counted," I sure hope so.
