Well, here in PA we already have one report of a voting machine "malfunction." When you went to cast your vote for Obama the machine automatically cast a vote for Romney.
Touchscreen problems affect voting machine in York Township

A voting machine at Aldersgate United Methodist Church had to be recalibrated Tuesday after the touch screen options and the sensors didn't quite match up.
"We were having issues with it not responding," said Joe Compton, judge of elections for the York Township polling place. "Voters kept hitting the 'next' button and nothing happened."
The options on the screen and their corresponding sensors were "off by a quarter of an inch," he said. For example, he added, "if you hit the high side of the center circle" when picking a candidate, "it wouldn't register."
After about 40 voters used the machine, it was shut down and recalibrated early this morning. Compton was unaware of any misvotes as a result of the machine's complications.
Nikki Suchanic, York County director of elections and voter registration, said her office has not received complaints from anyone about voting for the wrong candidate.
Any complaints must be registered with the state Department of State at this website.
Those complaints are them forwarded to each county's district attorney for review.
"The review screen lists everybody you're voting for," said Suchanic. "Check that review screen before you hit 'cast my ballot.'"

Until voting machines are fully publicly auditable, they are untrustworthy.
Paper ballots all the way.

Floriduh is just Floriduh. Fortunately, they are irrelevant this time.
