A post-election report by the Fairfax GOP committee* called the election a "technological and procedural failure." The report further states:

I pressed a name I did not want to vote for intending to try the change your vote feature. The machine accepted my vote. I read the instructions on how to change it ... "press the spot again.” So I pressed again. No change. Again, no change. ... Eventually, I hit the right combination of time and pressure, and the erroneous vote was removed, leaving me free to make a correct vote.

In Villages the count came up one vote short. The election officials said that a woman pressed, "vote," said thank you and left, whereupon the official discovered the machine had died. It was the second time that particular machine died, and at that point it was taken out of service. The rest of the votes registered but that one did not.
