3. What part of LA?
If it's the black neighborhoods in South Central, or the affluent areas of West LA, I think it benefits Hillary. If it's the Latino areas or white working class neighborhoods, I think it benefits Obama.

12. You have no damn clue. LA County has the largest Latino population. Latinos favor Hillary.
SO...this would HURT Hillary. At least get your facts straight.

"Disenfranchised in Beverly Hills"

My colleague Jeffrey Ressner writes from Los Angeles:

More than 80 voters have been told to vote elsewhere or return later at a voting precinct in Los Angeles because equipment wasn't delivered to a polling place at the West Side Jewish Community Center, precinct supervisor Bernie Cade says.

A local TV station has a classic voter quote on another reported hiccup, at the the La Cienega Tennis Center:

"There's so much frustration in this country, so to feel like I'm a disenfranchised voter in Beverly Hills is ridiculous."

Grace Chavez, spokesperson for the Registrar-Recorder in the county of Los Angeles, says there are 4379 polling places in the county, and she has heard of "no incident where equipment wasn't delivered." She says that "procedures are in place" when polling places can't operate and there are signs placed to re-direct voters to new locations.

Cade, whose polling place has been closed for four hours, said he was short an "ink system" and other equipment.

There have been scattered minor problems around the country, another affecting New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine.

11. IF that's true, it favors Obama because LA county has the largest Latino vote and they lean Hillary.
If this is true, I wouldn't be surprised.
