The most recent discussion appears to be this one:

> [@Voting Machines in Eastern PA malfunction, flip votes for judges](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/voting-machines-in-eastern-pa-malfunction-flip-votes-for-judges/992820):
>
> It’s been established that this was a localized glitch with the machines that was quickly caught and a solution created, but I can see it being used as fodder for more challenges down the road. Just thought people might want to know in case it does become a bigger issue, given that the GOP likes to grab onto any discrepancy that offers evidence of a “rigged election.”

It starts out in the context of a specific election but rather quickly shifts into an examination of electronic voting in general. It didn’t last very long, though, so it’s not much of a conversational archive. Definitely better than this thread as a home for further consideration, though, I think.
