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.

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.

The machines we were using had a stylus, very easy to use and keeps your hand away from the screen. If the machines are being deployed without the sttylus this will make the touch screen more error prone.
