39 voting machines unused

17 never activated at inner-city precincts; officials not sure why
In a development that came to light just this week, several extra Franklin County voting machines earmarked for Columbus’ inner-city polling places on Election Day never made it inside.
Officials can’t say exactly why, but they suggest the polls may have been closed or poll workers told those delivering the machines that they could get along with the ones they had

You have to be registered for this story!!!

7. Limiting the number of votes per hour is a FANTASTIC way to disenfranchise

Utterly fantastic way. And utterly obvious.

8. Dude, they said they didn't need them.

Can you believe it? That's the lame-ass excuse the election officials are saying.
