According to the Sun-Sentinel article and a report I heard on NPR, the crashes were related to the database of registered voters, not the voting terminals. This includes the crash described in "Orlando"/Orange county (again, the Sun-Sentinel said it was the registration database).

Perhaps the CTV reporter (as well as the person who submitted the article, as well as most /.ers) immediately assumed the problem was with the voting terminals when they heard "computer crash" and "voting" in the same sentence.

It's certainly possible that there were also touch-screen crashes, but we'll probably have to wait a few hours as we get a consensus from the different news sources.
