Here’s how to avoid problems with straight-ticket voting in Texas:
But according to the Texas secretary of state’s office, the voting machines are not at fault. Rather, the problems reported are the result of “voters hitting a button or using the selection wheel before the screen is finished rendering,” which de-selects the pre-filled candidate selection.
"before the screen is finished rendering". What the fuck century are we living in that a screen of a couple of candidate choices is taking longer to render than a display refresh?

Perhaps because the app is written in a bloated environment?

As someone currently fighting with drag and drop on Cocoa, on a 2018 MacBook Pro that has how many thousands? Millions? more cycles per second than the machines I learned to program on: Oh hell yes on bloated environments. Ugh.
Others have suggested that the whole thing looks like a WinCE device...
I remember when we thought that Emacs was bloated.
Sigh.

Hey, making emacs feel svelte and responsive is quite a trick!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
