State details jammed equipment, missing volunteers and possibly uncounted votes in November election

[TexasTowelie]

Problems on Election Day this November ranged from humidity-induced paper jams to potentially incorrect final tallies being reported to the state from one locality, according to a report issued by the Department of Elections Friday.

Some election officials characterized the problems as typical hiccups. Others saw them as serious deficiencies.

“There are issues in every single election,” said Chris Piper, commissioner of the Department of Elections. “It’s a unique process we do as Americans. For 13 hours we try to get everybody in one place to vote, so there are going to be issues.”

Likewise, Chairman of the Board of Elections James Alcorn said it sounded like a “pretty well-run election.”

The commissioner and chairman’s low standards may explain the problem. Too complicated for them, apparently. Good thing they’re not surgeons or space program engineers.
