Did anyone here experience any election day oddities or irregularities? The Queen and I were in line at our normal voting location by 6:45am yesterday morning with 9 people ahead of us. At 7:15 we were still in line, doors still closed and nobody inside. At 7:25 the doors were opened, a few walked in then the line stopped. We noticed nobody was walking out of the exit door so something was not normal. We finally got inside and were then were told the wrong voting machines were sent and the replacement machines were on the way. A truck pulled up and they did replace the machines (4 of them) but then the card readers were not recognizing the cards. We finally decided to leave at 7:45am as some of us have jobs and have to work to support the protesters. We returned during lunch and had no issues voting this time so evidently they got the "Biden" machines up and running.

Evidently it was more widespread than expected:

Messy Georgia primary raises alarms for November, as Ossoff edges closer to clinching Senate nomination

The Democratic Senate primary in Georgia was too early to call Wednesday, as Jon Ossoff held onto approximately 49 percent of the vote with more ballots coming in -- amid widespread reports of hourslong lines, voting machine malfunctions, provisional ballot shortages and absentee ballots failing...

Another example of how the govt is inefficient in almost everything it does.

Now bring on government healthcare! :rolleyes:

Greene will be in a run off with Cowan.
Austin will be in a run off with Antavitarte.
They are still stuffing ballot boxes in Atlanta so hat Ossoff wins outright.

That is all.

From what I was hearing yesterday, it was mostly uncharged machines that poll workers were told to charge last week, workers unfamiliar with how to work the machines. In one case instructing voters to insert cards upside down and then taking the machines offline when they wouldn't accept the cards.

The biggest problem was not enough space to accomodate the Covid restrictions. As usual, Fulton County led the incompetence Olympics with over half of their precincts reporting unacceptable wait periods for one reason or another. But of course all of this is Brad Raffensperger's fault. Just ask Stacy.

The issue at our precinct was that the wrong machines were sent so the card readers were not compatible. Once the machines were replaced then they had to recalibrate the readers. It was a *&@#-show at best with 15 clowns running around with nobody in charge. It was actually embarrassing to see just how ridiculous the fiasco became. As I watched it unfold I was thinking to myself (at least I don't think I blurted it out loud), "Third world countries probably have their voting process down better than this."

I left in disgust but returned at lunch and was able to vote. Hopefully it was tallied correctly but we never really know that do we? All we really know is whether or not we showed up and made the effort.
 
Well if they would stop changing the voting machines to appease certain people then maybe they would not have such issues. I dont see how the last machines were wrong. Now, you still vote on a computer, then it prints out paper that is then scanned right back into the system? I just dont get it. It is possible to secure voting machines. The problem is and always will be that the government controls it and no one is ever trained properly on how to setup the stuff.

Just my two cents.
