Reports of issues with the touchscreen ExpressVote machines continue to surface in Florida and Texas.
Among issues reported:
It is suggested that voters request a TRADITIONAL, HAND-FILLED PAPER BALLOT if your precinct or early voting center is using the touchscreen ExpressVote machines. If you must use an ExpressVote machine, DOUBLE CHECK your SELECTIONS on the printed ballot to make sure they match your intentions.

And reports of pushback from poll workers:
After being notified of these issues, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, Wendy Link, claimed they were due to user error and said that she made sure that a stylus was available for voters. However, she also said that malfunctioning machines were being removed. This was after several days of early voting had already occurred. Whether the "malfunctions" are due to issues with specific machines or a system-wide software issue remains to be seen.
This issue is reminiscent of the hanging chads in 2000 when questionable punch card ballots in Florida - and again involving Palm Beach county - elevated the contentious election to the Supreme Court for the ultimate decision. We have no way of knowing how many voters' selections were changed by these machines unbeknownst to them and if the results are what the voters intended.
