Pay Attention When You Vote Politics
To be clear right at the beginning, I'm not suggesting anything is rigged or unfair.
I voted today and the poll worker gave clear instructions to make sure my chosen candidate changes color to confirm the selection, and to verify my printed ballot before inserting it into the tabulator.
I tapped Harris and Trump lit up. I tapped Harris again and the selection was recognized.
I tapped Johnson and Blackburn lit up. I tapped Johnson again and it was recognized.
The third section acted as I would expect, but it was multiple choice and programmed to behave differently.
There could be a variety of issues that caused this. Double check your selections before you finalize your vote.
Also, go vote!

Everyone should be happy that you get to review your choices 3 times before casting your vote. Seeing how important this process is, I hope everyone, both Republican and Democrat, are taking a few seconds to verify their own ballot. The workers where I voted were adamant about verify my ballot and told me what to do in case of a mistake. Treat it like the important process it is and you will be fine.
