I also looked at the link for Comment #19. This one was for 2016. People had reported that the machines were lighting up with the wrong names some times. Here is a quote from the article.

“The North Carolina chapter of the NAACP sent a letter to the state’s board of elections Monday after voters complained that machines had flipped votes in five counties. The group noted that, in each case, the voter was able to correct the error before the ballot was cast. But it asked the board to remove malfunctioning machines and to post signs reminding voters to check their ballots before submitting them.”

So same as in 2006, you can correct a machine mis-vote, but as always you should pay attention. I suspect that Democrats are at least as bad as Republicans at not paying attention, so the misvotes that are not corrected probably even out in the results.
