Don't touch those touchscreens to vote

Just when you thought the problems with Diebold electronic voting machines could not get any worse, this Engadget story indicates that some Diebold machines have touchscreen problems--if you touch the touchscreen, the system panics and has to be restarted. Diebold is giving the State of Maryland more than 5000 mice to use with the voting machines so that no one touches the touchscreens. Except if you do accidentally touch the touchscreen, the machine could crash and your vote could be lost. Unless your vote gets counted twice because the machine had to reboot, which can cause it to lose count.
