Canada: Arnprior voting extended by 24 hours due to technical issues*
http://papervotecanada.blogspot.com/2010/10/arnprior-voting-extended-by-24-hours.html
Many, many stories about this yesterday and today. Not just Arnprior was affected, but it's the only one that took the extraordinary step of extending voting by 24 hours. Other municipalities extended voting by an hour.

This is a serious voting system failure. I think "glitch" is a bit of an understatement. First you hand your voting system over to a private company, and then it doesn't work? That's a surrender followed by a failure, not a glitch

Verified Voting: Vote Flipping and Touch Screen Calibration
http://blog.verifiedvoting.org/2010/10/27/1205 Vote flipping can be caused by a voter touching the screen in two places, for example resting one hand on the machine while making selections with the other (see pp. 20-22 here), but the most likely cause of "vote-flipping" is miscalibration.
