An hour after the polls closed in Hillsborough, Johnson told reporters that his vote counting system had developed a computer problem that was preventing it from posting the tallies electronically — and he blamed Premier Voting Solutions. "I haven't been able to get a straight answer from Premier, but I will by the end of the night," he said. "I expect them to fix this issue. We've paid a lot of money. My staff has done a great job.'

PERRY SWANSON The Gazette Colorado Springs 23 August 2008
In one case, election judges mistakenly put an electronic voting machine into "test mode," which prevented it from tabulating the ballots voters cast.
