Florida voters using electronic ballot machines are having persistent
problems choosing Democrats in early elections, the Miami Herald
reports.
The touch-screen gizmos seem strangely attracted to Republican
candidates. One voter needed assistance from an election official,
and even then, needed three tries to convince the machine that he
wanted to vote for Democrat Jim Davis in the gubernatorial race, not
his Republican opponent Charlie Crist.
Another voter who went Democrat across the board kept finding
Republicans listed in the summary screen. He made repeated attempts
until, finally, the machine registered his votes correctly, and he
cast his ballot.

Makes you pine for the days of hanging chads, eh?
