PITTSBURGH - While complaints about voting machine malfunctions cropped up across the state, Bob Haas swears that the new iVotronic touchscreen voting machine he used in Brentwood Tuesday morning not only worked perfectly but that it actually upgraded his airline seat for a business trip to Boston on Wednesday."It was the craziest thing," said Haas. "There I was voting when, all of a sudden, the screen said, 'Would you like to upgrade your seat on Flight 411 to first class at no additional charge, Mr. Haas?' Well, naturally, I jumped at it and pushed 'Yes.'"
But Haas isn't giving the machine his unqualified endorsement just yet. It also signed him up for a more expensive cable television package and switched his cell phone carrier, without his consent.
"All I can say is, that is one smart voting machine," said Haas.
