The machine has been taken out of service, per NBC News a while ago.

The guy said he called a poll worker over, and ... well, you can read what she said - wasn't worried about it.

I used a manual ballot today, for just that reason.

I don't understand why the USA can't run an efficient election. We need Election Day to be a national holiday, and damn, just have manual ballots and have counting machines that are accurate. Not hard!

My polling place was jammed, and they only had the usual two electronic machines. They had the usual 4 manual stalls set up, then added just 2 more manual stalls. The line was 10 people, but the wait was only about 15 minutes.
