Election Day Thread - Nov. 3, 2020

[SunnySide]

Ohio’s most populous county, Franklin, switched to paper poll books after experiencing technical difficulties on Election Day, Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Tuesday.

Officials warned residents to brace for long lines and wait times early on election morning when polling workers began using the old-fashioned method to check in voters after learning that their electronic check-in system was not fully updated with new data.

"It's important to note that this does NOT impact voting machines in any way, and only modifies how voters are checked in," a spokesperson for La Rose said on Twitter.

The Secretary of State indicated that Franklin County Board of Elections was not able to upload all early in-person voting data into its electronic check-in system by election morning, but said poll workers are trained to use paper poll books to serve as a backup at every polling site.

Putting my democrat tin foil hat on ... why the fuck werent they able to upload all the data prior to Election Day? this wasnt some unforeseen technical glitch. this was people just not getting the work done on time by the deadline.

result = longer wait lines for the most populous democrat county in battleground state Ohio. In 2016, Hillary won nearly 60% of the county votes vs 34% for trump.
