Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, recently shared a post on social media that voters in Tarrant County are reporting voting machines are flipping their vote from Trump to Kamala Harris.

"I just spoke with Lt. Gov about voting in Tarrant County, TX. They have looked into it and the error has been corrected with the voting machines," she wrote on the last day of Early Voting in Texas.

As NBC 5 reported on Oct. 22, Tarrant County officials said there was zero evidence to support claims by a voter that his selection was switched , and that when the wrong selection was discovered on the voter's printed ballot, the elections staff invalidated the original ballot and the voter re-voted, verified his selections and then his ballot was cast.

The latest news from around North Texas.

Patrick's post went on to share the state's data. "As of today, there have been less than ten allegations of vote flipping out of nearly 7 million votes cast across the state. There has NOT BEEN A SINGLE confirmation that it actually happened."

County officials encourage all voters "confirm their selections on the physical paper ballot before placing it into the scanner to be counted."

More than half of Tarrant County's 1.3 million registered voters voted early , averaging 53,000 people per day over the 12-day early voting period.

Tuesday, Nov. 5, is Election Day. On that day, polls will be open in Texas from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. You will be allowed to vote if you're in line by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
