"Calibration error"

Yep.

It was only supposed to switch half of the Republican votes to Democrat, not all of them.

Oopsie!

It wouldn't surprise me if that's what really happened. They got caught because a GOP candidate for state rep. carefully looked at what the final ballot choices read before hitting "cast ballot" on the screen. Probably a lot of older voters don't even look at the numbers, they're just relieved to finally get to the end of a long touch screen ballot and it "cast ballot" when it asks voters to review all the choices they made.

There was a bunch of useful idiots on the Illinois board back in 2010 who found nothing suspicious when Bill Brady had been polling 8 points AHEAD of Quinn in suburban Cook County the week before the election, but on election day, he lost suburban Cook and got a lower percentage of the vote in my pct. than McCain had gotten in 2008 at the HEIGHT of Obamamania (32% for Brady vs. 34% for McCain). They retroactively decided "Brady ran a terrible campaign" (Funny, a week before the election, they said his campaign effort had been excellent)
