It’s a privilege to vote and I’m willing to wait in line for an hr or even 2. However, 1 out 4 functional scanners at the polls for tens of thousands of voters makes it challenging. The voting system needs a total redesign. #MidtermElections2018

I expect to see this crap in the South, not in a blue northeastern state.

5. The incompetence is stunning.

In some locations, it's no doubt intentional voter suppression. But in other places it's just utter incompetence.

6. There were problems like this in 2016,

if I recall, at least in the primaries. Some smart ,local politician should run on fixing the system.
