Caller went to her local government building to find out where to vote. She was informed by the government worker that she was not registered. She noticed that other African Americans were told the same thing, except for one man, who was wearing a suit. Because the caller had successfully voted in 2008 and lives at the same address, she went to her former polling place and found out that she was still registered to vote. She voted. Caller is concerned that the government worker was discriminating against African American voters by telling them they were not registered to vote when (at least in the caller's case) they were.
Voter said that when he arrived at polling location at 6:30 am, none of the scanners were working and the scene was generally chaotic. He was advised that he could complete his ballot and put in box, but he waited until a scanner was working. Although told that the scanner recorded his vote, he remains skeptical. When he left the polling location, only one scanner was working.
Volunteer called in from Ward 64 Division 17, Philadelphia PA. Stated that there was a problem with the voting machine having to be reset several times but still not working. Second problem that there was an issue with the credentials of poll workers not being accepted and their IDs challenged this morning. May have been fixed but concerned that the same issue would occur this afternoon on the next shift.
equipement problems, no lights indicating vote was registered by machine... person brought this to the attention of election workers who said this was not a problem, the machine was working. Person insisted that there was a problem, the machine was adjusted, lights came on and person felt assured that his votes were counted. Election workers may have misled people who thought their votes were counted.
