There have been multiple rounds of testing on the voting machines in Dallas County. The Dallas County GOP Chair, Allen West, expressed dissatisfaction with the outcomes of these tests, indicating that the machines failed to pass a legally required logic and accuracy test. This sentiment was shared across various platforms, suggesting there might be issues with the machines accurately counting votes or otherwise performing as expected.
Separately, there was controversy and eventual approval of an additional voting site in Rowlett, Dallas County, after significant debate and legal action. This was primarily about accessibility and convenience but indicates the broader context of electoral administration challenges in the county.
Dallas County uses a countywide vote center model, allowing registered voters to vote at any participating center during both early voting and on Election Day. This system aims at flexibility but also requires robust machinery and technology to handle the voting process across various locations.
