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!

I'm a poll worker. We ask every person to verify the printout before they slide their vote into a scanner, which is where votes are actually cast.
Why would voting devices be any different than any touch screen? My high-end iphone, iPad, and computer screen routinely think I've touched something I didn't.
Your post is bullshit. The devices are acting like any touch screen would. Voters receive a print out that confirms their correct votes.and no votes are casted until you slide them into the scanner. If it's not correct, you let a poll worker know and they will deactivate and reactivate your voter activation card.
Edit: Every person too lazy to review their printed ballot or lying Trumpers downvoting this: tell me about your magic touchscreens that never misread a touch.
