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!

If it’s the touch screen systems, go slow and make sure you’re touching the middle of the selection. People are clicking a little too high and it’s registering the selection above what they want.
My area still uses the boxes with physical buttons next to the names. Much easier to manage in my opinion.
