Well, what a shock! Dominion machines with problems?
Democrat Senators had a problem with electronic voting machines all through the twenty-teens, then suddenly fell silent in 2020.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announces a NATIONWIDE issue affecting certain Dominion voting machines.
Benson said that split-ticket voters using a Dominion ICX Voter Assist Terminal (VAT) on Election Day should "be prepared for straight-ticket/split-ticket programming issues when marking their ballot."
“Yeah, this is a nationwide issue with Dominion voter access terminals in, in the counties that use them in the voter access terminals,” Benson said. “Of course, not all the machines, just the ones that are accessible, have an issue. With the straight-party voting and a programming issue, that’s again affected the machines nationwide.”
Benson then said she was "unhappy" to learn that the voting machines actually contained flaws.
“I think all of us who used Dominion machines were unhappy to learn about this during the testing period and as early voting began, so we’re working with Dominion to seek accountability on that front, and also are working with our clerks to ensure voters are aware of this programming issue that will require them to ensure they are voting every section on the ballot,” she added.
According to WLNS, if a VAT (Voter Assist Terminal) user selects a straight-party vote and then chooses to split their ticket, they will receive an error message. However, they will still have the opportunity to correct the error and cast their ballot. This issue does not impact which candidates or issues a voter selects, but it may cause an inconvenience for VAT users who vote split-ticket.
The Department of State has indicated that the issue cannot be resolved before Election Day next week, though a fix is planned for future elections.
It is unknown if Dominion Voting Systems will sue the Michigan Secretary of State for pointing out the voting machine errors.
