They just covered this on CNN broadcast (Wolf Blitzer's show,) and the reporter said the machine of this story has been taken out, recalibrated and put back, and that they talked to this author of the post. And that the second example of the same problem in PA (was reported elsewhere) is still up in the air but that they are following that story, too.

All of these machines should provide some kind of paper audit so voters can verify their choice. There's really no excuse for that not being the case in 2012.
