From the Columbus Dispatch blog:
Viola Dixon, 88, hit the button to cast her vote for Hillary Clinton at Clintonville Lutheran Church in Columbus this morning and to her dismay, the machine showed the vote going instead to Barack Obama.
A poll worker was able to fix the problem before Dixon's vote was officially registered.

This is the word over at the Cleveland Plain Dealer blog:
Cuyahoga County elections director Jane Platten promised that every vote would count and said the start of the primary has been "exceptionally good.''
Every polling place opened on time. "That's a huge benchmark for us,'' Platten said.
Platten said a tab on ballots that's used for accounting purposes became a minor issue. She said some of the tabs were removed by accident. Voters who lost the tabs should not worry. Their votes will count.
There have been few lines, and voters appear to like the change from voting machines, Platten said.
The county has a history of voting debacles. Asked how the county will do with the vote count today, Platten said: "We'll shine.''
She said, things "are going better than I thought.''
