PENNSYLVANIA
Local election officials are deputizing trained Election Protection
volunteers because pollworkers in Pittsburgh are overwhelmed by the
crush of voters.
Hundreds of calls (http://www.ourvotelive.org/responses.php?sort=rid&order=desc&filter_subset=0&filter_state=PA&date=2008-11-04&id=&keywords=&op=Filter)
from voters are indicating major obstacles to casting ballots in
polling locations across the state. Broken voting machines are causing
long lines at polls, and some voters are experiencing difficulties
accessing the paper ballots to which they are entitled. Some voters are
illegally being given provisional ballots and paper ballots are running
out at multiple locations. Problems are being reported throughout
Philadelphia.
VIRGINIA
We continue to be flooded by calls (http://www.ourvotelive.org/responses.php?sort=rid&order=desc&filter_subset=epc_eqprob&filter_state=VA&filter_county=0&date=2008-11-04&id=&keywords=&op=Filter)
from voters in Virginia experiencing issues with machines in more than
ten polling places all across the state, problems far more severe than
expected. Our attorneys are urgently working to seek remedies to the
situation.
