My school made the Kos diary about Virginia voting hijinx
Florida, Ohio...Virginia?
Early reports indicate that Virginia may be the state plagued by voting issues this time around.
At one precinct in Richmond's north end, hundreds of people encircled a branch library by 6 a.m., the scheduled opening of the polls. But the line grew for another 25 minutes before the poll workers opened the doors. They said the librarian who had a key to the polling place had overslept. [...]
In Chesapeake, approximately 1,000 voters stood in line to vote, and some people reported malfunctioning machines.
Pollard said paper ballots were brought into one polling place in Henrico County, in suburban Richmond. In Petersburg, the wrong machines were delivered to a polling place.
Pollard said reports of optical scanning machines not recording votes were likely the result of the wet weather.
And it gets worse:
At George Mason University in Fairfax, Provost Peter N. Stevens wrote in a campus e-mail that a hacker had entered a message into the university system stating the Election Day had been rescheduled.
There are also reports that Virginia voters are receiving deceptive phone calls telling them to go to the wrong polling place.
Meanwhile, there is already an effort underway to seek to extend voting hours in Virginia by two hours. More on that story as it develops.
