Brad Blog
Excerpt:
As of 8:00 a.m. the non-partisan group Missourians for Honest Elections has already received news of two incidents in today’s election in which touch screen machines incorrectly recorded voters’ intentions. These occurred at the Brentwood Community Center in St. Louis County.

There have also been several verified reports from voters in St. Louis County who had this happen to them when trying vote absentee at the St. Louis County Board of Elections in Maplewood. We have had an unsatisfactory, mixed response from the County Board of Elections concerning this matter.

Myriad Problems Reported to Local News Outlet in Chicago…

NBC
Excerpt:
Used the touch screen voting machine – if this is the new technology, forget it. When I would touch on the candidate of my choice, in several instances the check mark would jump to the other candidate. After finally resolving this I reviewed my choices on the screen ( before seeing a printout ) only to find that six candidate choices had mysteriously changed, so again I went back to correct these “mistakes.” Finally, everything looked good so I ran the printout to review my choices only to find that again choices( different ones ) were wrong so I went back and made the changes – imagine my dismay when this happened two more times after that. At last everything was right so I pushed the final button to have my votes cast – or were they??? Sure hope so !
