Polling Place Problems
Talking Points Memo is reporting that:
-- None of the electronic voting machines in Arlington Heights, Illinois were working this morning. That's House Republican Mark Kirk's district.
-- In Sullivan County, Tennessee, a voter reports that all three machines at a polling place were out of order.
-- A citizen in Tampa, Florida was told by election officials that her name was not on the list because the voter database had been "cleaned."
-- Long lines in Denver due to computer problems.
Users on the right-leaning Powerline blog's forum reported problems in various states, including Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee and Pennsylvania. The reports from Pennsylvania were mixed, with significant troubles in inner-city Philadelphia. Sen. Rick Santorum's campaign reports that turnout is high across the state but quite low in Philadelphia.
The AP reports that technical glitches delayed voting in dozens of Indiana and Ohio precincts, and Illinois officials were deluged with calls from voters saying election workers did not know how to operate new electronic equipment.
