IF VOTING STRAIGHT TICKET MAKE SURE TO "FIRST PICK OBAMA" -- THEN CHOOSE STRAIGHT TICKET.

Otherwise, the word I'm getting is it will cancel out your vote for Obama and you won't even know it.

but my suggestion would be to make sure that you look over the summary page before you hit the "vote" button. Make sure that everything listed there is correct. If it does show Obama and that doesn't get counted after that, we are fucked.

I personally do not check the "straight ticket" anymore, after some discussion a few years ago that those votes were not getting recorded in my area at some of the machines. It doesn't take that long to go through every page and just check all the Democrats individually.
