Problems in FL, MI, MO Posted: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 12:50 PM by Domenico Montanaro
From Election Protection...
As of 12:30pm, Election Protection has received over 41,000 calls to the 1-866-OUR-VOTE Hotline since the phones opened at 5:30am this morning.
FLORIDA: Voters in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area have experienced numerous problems trying to cast ballots this morning. We have preliminary reports of voters being turned away from the polls for incomplete registrations and instances of the statewide problem of broken optical scan machines in some two dozen polling locations all across the state.
MICHIGAN: Voters are reporting massive voting machine malfunctions across the state resulting in long lines and discouraged voters leaving lines without casting a ballot. In many cases, poll workers are asking voters to cast their ballot on paper and they will tally them later. Some voters are being asked to vote on paper using magic markers.
MISSOURI: There were multiple reports of swapped poll books (voter lists for a given precinct at the wrong location) in Kansas City, MO. This issue has been resolved.
Stay tuned for more updates

My Diebold was running fine but I know there is stories in Denver county of it not. My issue was they didn't have enough security cards. So people had to wait until others voted then have their info placed on the cards. So it was creating a back log and wait.

I know its kind of weird. But you watch the votes get printed on the paper. So you can check that its how you voted. My voter registration number was on the printout as well.

Someone mentioned earlier that they voted in pencil. It says right on the ballot to use blue or black ink... The election people should know better.

I think the one Apa is refering to are the same I voted on in Douglas Co.. you vote on a screen, and when its done it prints out everything for your review, and saves it.

I realize that dingleberry. That's for verification during a recount. These are the same type of ballots which magically disappeared during the 04 election.

You don't use ink. Like ak said you touch the screen to mark your choice. When you are done you click check ballot. You review and make sure you were tallied correctly. There were 6 screens each time you clicked next page it printed the last pages results. There is a little windo to watch the printing. You repeat 6 times and your vote is cast.
You don't keep the paper but you get to watch your vote print.

No you have no verification which again is scary but then again neither do the mail in ballots or hand marked ones. You drop them in the ballot box and off you go.
At least there is no hanging chads.

Oh..I never voted on one of them before. I had always used the punch card thing.
