What is wrong with election officials in Pennsylvania?
They knew that voter turnout was going to set records today
yet many precincts only have two machines. Two machines
equal long lines and voters turning around and going home.
On top of that there were wide-spread machine failures. And,
on top of that, in areas like Philadelphia officials will
not allow voters to use a paper ballot unless both machines
are out-of-service and then, the paper ballot is a
provisional ballot that may or may not ever be counted. At
the same time that voters are reporting problems to the
local news blogs and the voting assistance groups, local
officials were telling the broadcast media that there were
very few problems and they were all expected (normal). In
fact the problems were numerous enough to warrant
VoterAction to go to court in an attempt to keep the polls
open for two extra hours. That attempt was denied....
