They've buried the lede in this article. Check this out (third paragraph):
> The mistake in the Green Party candidate's name appears on a review screen that allows voters to double-check their selections and not on the screen where the vote is registered. It also is not on paper ballots, Neal said.
This means not only that the voting machine data files are not autogenerated from the same sources as create the paper ballots---which is disappointing but not very surprising---but also that internally, the machines use different data for the "actual vote" screen and for the "confirmation" screen. This fact is very alarming when it comes to potential system hacks and other voting system hijinx.
