The issue with flipping is the placement of the "Name" on the ballot. People have a tendency to press on names, not on the check spot. What they need to do is make the buttons bigger, add spacing between each button and make sure that any text is vertically centered, to drive people to click on the center, not the edge of buttons.

Also finger input isn't that accurate. The finger has a large surface and any point that touches the screen may become to click point.

Jeff may be Waybright but whoever designed those machines was either Waydumb or Wayevil. What a disgrace!

It's not the designer of the machines. It goes back to the manufacturer of the touch-screen hardware and software. Two different companies I'd venture (many times machines such as these contain many parts from many companies).

The issues with touch screen calibration are common; however, the manufacturer should have done more hardware and software testing. Losing calibration half-way through a voting process is ridiculous.

Yeah, the Obama camp must be behind a bunch of broken machines that won't let you vote for Obama!
