20. I worked as a clerk in a precinct in Palm Beach County
which uses the touchscreen machines.

At the end of the night, we could not get one machine to print out the paper report which is a "tally" of the total votes cast for each issue/person on that machine. We called the elections office and they spent 20 minutes with us on the phone and could not get the machine to print this report.

I had another machine that printed the report which goes along with the cartridges to be counted. However, by law we are supposed to reprint a 2nd report and post it in a public place at the precinct. The machine refused to print the second report. Again I was on the phone with the elections office and they could not get the machine to do the report.

So, I had one machine with no paper report of any kind and a second that would not print out the second report for the public to see.
