OH: Widespread Voting Problems Reported
From the Election Protection coalition's morning update email:
EP volunteers and the EP hotline received widespread [reports] of voting machine problems leading to delays, as well as problems with confusion implementing the state’s photo ID requirement. Additionally, one polling place opened late because of an overnight break in. A local TV station aired footage of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt’s battle with an optical scan voting machine, which repeatedly rejected her ballot.

An overnight break in? Does this raise giant red flags for anyone else? It is my understanding that the electronic voting machines can be hacked by anyone with access to them.

Why didn't somebody tell Jean to just vote for the Democrat and the computer will accept it? Even silicon brains have standards after all.
Best, Terry

I suppose I shouldn't laugh, because the problem is serious, but the image of Mean Jean Schmidt being repeatedly rejected by a voting machine is just too hilarious!
Even the voting machines can't stand her!
