] Florida's assertion that the malfunctions of the laptops
] handling voter registrations were minor, his organisation
] is aware of dozens of voters who were turned away from
] the polls "because of that minor system crash". Doherty
] also said there have been multiple reports related to
] touch-screen calibration problems. Some voters have
