Bugs and Glitches Watch
Remember: millions of people voting * tens of poll workers * thousands of machines = literally billions of voting-related transactions.
We've checked in with the national parties, and aside from minor, sporadic tangles and anecdotal evidence of high turnout, there are no major national voting problems.
Here's the AP's national overview.
Ohio -- Well, it's Ohio.
Indiana: problems with machines and poll workers but not with the state's new voter ID law.
Camden, NJ -- 30 machines not working.
From the PA Dem Party: "Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman T.J. Rooney today said an injunction was granted to have “Rendell/Santorum” signs removed from areas near polling places in Philadelphia."
From NJ: Statement by Kean campaign manager Evan Kozlow:
“It appears the Democrats have already resorted to Election Day dirty tricks. Late last night vandals struck the Kean for Senate Headquarters and an auxiliary office of the Star-Ledger by chaining closed the main entrance to the building as well as braking off keys in the side door entrances. Desperate ploys such as using Hudson County Correctional Inmates to disrupt press conferences or chaining closed the front door to our headquarters, will not prevent us from informing voter’s that Bob Menendez is under Federal Criminal Investigation and is unfit to serve in the United States Senate.”
