I voted an absentee ballot this time, so avoided any problems. However, the last election I did encounter a problem. It was a touch screen, I went thru the process (this included California propositions as well, so I read through them, again even though I already did some studying) and then clicked "submit vote" and the machine totally went dark/dead.
I called the poll worker who fiddled with the machine and couldn't fix it. (I was pissed actually because I had heard about voting problems throughout the U.S.). She made a phone call to her superior and did some tweaking while on the phone, per the supervisor's suggestions, and it still didn't work. It took them about a half an hour before they finally told me to go to another machine, which I did and had no problem.
