There's no voter fraud in this election. Just ask the people in texas who had their votes changed.

Let's see, do I believe a voter's observations about his/her particular vote being changed, or do I believe a government employee who coincidentally has the name "Lackey"?

For Galt's sake, how appropriate can a name be????

I believe the voter.

Any ballot irregularities involving only Clinton and Trump are suspect. With at least four to six presidential candidates on each state's ballot, the chances of only those two candidates being involved are between 7 and 17 percent.

  How did you compute the percentages mentioned?
  It would be easier to prove fraund with a non-major party candidate. Most of the people voting for one of them know each other or at least know of each othere. If they all calim to have voted for the person say totaling 120 in a specified precint and only 100 votes show up, there is good reason to yell fraud. With the main party candidates to it way to complex to determine how people actually voted after the fact so less easy to prove.
  Thus I think 3rd part candidates are relatively save from vote stealing.

    Re: "How did you compute the percentages mentioned?"
    Given a ballot with 5 Presidential candidates, there are 10 possible unique pairs of those candidates. If a glitch causes votes to be switched randomly between 2 of those candidates, the chance that both of those candidates are the Republican and the Democrat is only 1 in 10 (or 10 percent). Anecdotal reports from Texas indicate that some votes for Trump were switched to Clinton. If this actually happened (and if there are 5 candidates on the ballot), the probability that it was accidental is only 10 percent.
