It's worse than that:

    Yesterday a friend voted early at a polling location in Austin. She
    voted straight Democratic. When she did the final check, lo and behold
    every vote was for the Democratic candidates except that it showed she
    had voted for Bush/Cheney for president/vice pres. 

    She immediately got a poll official. On her vote, it was corrected.
    She called the Travis County Democratic headquarters. They took all
    her information, and told her that she wasn't the first to report a
    similar incident and that they are looking into it.
