Who supervised the removal of 21 Florida Broward County E-Voting machines?

Removed for "recalibration". I read that this happened in New Mexico as well (need to relocate the link).

It happened in Ohio in Mahoning and Mercer counties: http://www.vindy.com/basic/news/281829446390855.php

It also happened in Pinellas County, Florida:

After 10 minutes trying to change her selection, the Pinellas County resident said she called a poll worker and got a wet-wipe napkin to clean the touch screen as well as a pencil so she could use its eraser-end instead of her finger. Harvey said it took about 10 attempts to select Kerry before and a summary screen confirmed her intended selection. Election officials in several Florida counties where voters complained about such problems did not return calls Tuesday night.

A spokesoman for the company that makes the touch-screen machines used in Pinellas, Palm Beach and two other Florida counties, Alfie Charles of Sequoia Voting Systems Inc., said the machines' monitors may need to be recalibrated periodically.

1. And I find it totally amazing..............
that the opposite was never reported as happening. That is people voting for Bu$h and it registering for Kerry. I wonder why that is?
