Our county in NJ installed these machines, used them in the primaries, used it today. They are very simple and foolproof. I suspect someone hacked the software to cause the problem. Ours have a stylus, and couldn't be easier to use, espically with the ballot review.
The machines they show in Florida were identical to the machines we are using.

Very confusing ... Some group wants election results doubted in every instance. If "one" was hacking a machine to generate false votes you would only hit the data sent - only a complete idiot would DISPLAY the hack.
Thus my confusion. Any machine displaying this "glitch" should not be turned off or reset - it should be wrapped with crime scene tape and the authorities called.

One of the problems with these touchscreens is that, if you place the curve of your hand down on the screen to write or click, it will register the activity in a different location than the stylus. People often don't realize this problem until after they've affirmed their selection.
