Florida Miscounts?

Can anyone out there verify these claims? Just to be clear, it seems that "votes for president" does not mean "votes for THE president." It means the sum of Bush plus Kerry plus others.

According to this election problem site:

Broward County
Early Thursday, as Broward County elections officials wrapped up after a long day of canvassing votes, something unusual caught their eye. Tallies should go up as more votes are counted. That's simple math. But in some races, the numbers had gone . . . down.
Officials found the software used in Broward can handle only 32,000 votes per precinct. After that, the system starts counting backward. Why a voting system would be designed to count backward was a mystery to Broward County Mayor Ilene Lieberman. She was on the phone late Wednesday with Omaha-based Elections Systems and Software.
