Early voting in Texas began on Monday, and just one day into the process, troubling issues with voting machines have emerged across several counties. These incidents raise serious concerns about the integrity of the election process and have sparked immediate calls for action to protect voters and ensure their voices are accurately heard—essential pillars of a sovereign Texas.

One notable case occurred in Williamson County, where a voter named Matthew Smith shared his experience at the Liberty Hill ISD Gym Annex. After making his selections, Smith was shocked to find that the machine printed the wrong choices on his ballot. This error wasn’t an isolated event—two voters before him had also faced the same problem, yet election officials did not decommission the malfunctioning machine. Smith quickly called for the judge and had a new ballot printed from a different machine. While his situation was resolved, the fact that such errors are allowed to persist raises serious questions about accountability and election security.

Similar concerns have surfaced in Tarrant County. A voter in Fort Worth shared a video describing how his vote was inaccurately recorded by the machine. He has since signed an affidavit and is working with the Trump campaign to ensure the issue is investigated properly. You can watch his testimony here. In Dallas County, another machine malfunction spoiled at least one ballot, adding to the growing list of voter frustrations. You can view this testimony here.

In Kaufman County, a voter reported his vote was changed, further fueling concerns about the reliability of voting machines. Voters have raised questions about the use of QR codes, which they cannot verify, leaving them uncertain whether their vote was accurately recorded. This testimony is available here.

These incidents point to a larger issue in Texas: the growing disconnect between the people and the systems meant to protect their voices. As Texas pushes closer to securing its sovereignty and independence, ensuring the integrity of elections is not just a technical requirement—it’s a fundamental component of self-determination. TEXIT isn’t just about separating from a federal system that continues to impose regulations on Texans; it’s about building a system that respects the will of the people and guarantees every vote counts.

The problems with voting machines only reinforce the importance of a secure, transparent voting process. The integrity of elections is critical, not just for this election but as Texas considers its future. A truly independent Texas must ensure that its electoral system reflects the values of accountability, transparency, and the people’s right to determine their own destiny. Moving toward a more reliable paper-based system could restore the trust that Texans need as they take steps toward TEXIT.

Texans are increasingly demanding that their elections reflect the values of fairness and independence that the state has long embodied. Without the assurance that every vote is counted properly, the foundation of self-governance is weakened. The need for secure voting processes, free from machine malfunctions and other errors, is not only critical for this election but for the future of Texas itself. Trust in the system must be restored, and addressing these voting machine issues is the first step in that process as Texas looks to the horizon of independence.
