Some Democrats have been suggesting online that difficulty selecting candidates on touchscreen voting machines means the machines have been altered to rig the election.
These claims come up every election year, and they're not true. More here:

In NV, DOJ said it found 16K noncitizen voters. When NV asked for a list, DOJ sent 185. NV checked those and found all of them were actually citizens.
In CA, DOJ first said it found 190K noncitizen voters. Now, it says 20K. Told CA officials they had 48 hours to check, then sued
.@USAttyEssayli for @USAO_LosAngeles to @FoxNews on the complaint against California over its voter list: “When we're telling them you have 20,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls, you're going to be diluting the votes of American citizens. Their response is, ‘It's too late; we already mailed the ballots.’ That's not how the law works, and we're going to go to court. This is a matter of law…All we are asking them to do is sequester the ballots.”
President Donald Trump suggested on Friday that his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, might not stay on the job much longer.
“I told her, ‘I think you’re better off being happy,’” Trump said.
