I'm a watcher. 15 minutes our only machine down. Apparently at 7 pm tonight those 20-30 will be manually fed in.  Had to call and put in a "code" to reset it.
Someone else texted me in Florida their machine did the SAME THING.   Fishy or not?

I heard the same thing happened in Apopka Florida. They said they could put their ballots in a locked box and someone can manually feed them later or they could wait around for the machine to be fixed. Most said they would wait.

Today I voted with a "scantron" sheet for the first time in my life.

Not a voting machine but we have new ID scanners and it could not read my DL; you can enter info and do a look up and select. The clerk I had could not figure out how to do that I ended up leaning over the screen, looked at it and talked her through how to do that. Come on - how about doing a little training - pathetic!

Was there a poll watcher?  Those ballots hand fed after close.

When I voted, the "next" button on the last screen before the recap would not activate.  I had to tap it a few times.  The final recap screen came up and then a couple seconds later it submitted itself without me pushing the button.

Same thing happened to me just north of KCMO.

Machine wasn't accepting ballots, so I slid it into a slot below for workers to submit later (I suppose).

if this happens to anyone, they need to ask who will be supervising

No problem at my polling place while I was there.  Someone was on the phone with another polling place walking them through resetting the I'D scanner based on the conversation I could pick up.

Biggest turn out I have seen at my polling place.  Made 2008 look weak.

The only machine at my polling place is like a scanner of some sort.  You fill in the bubbles next to your candidates name on your ballot and then feed it into the machine.  IT WAS NOT WORKING!!!!  The old fucker sitting next to it said the battery was dead so he had me put it in this slot underneath the machine on top of a pile of ballots.

I told him that that sounded kind of fishy.

I have voted at this same place using the same process my entire life and now the machine is fucked up???  Did they not know that the election was today or some shit?  I was optimistic before, now I am convinced that the fix is in.
