"Dozens" of problems in Philly. But all perfectly "normal," you understand.

Philly.com:

"The most serious problems in Philadelphia occurred in the primarily African-American neighborhoods, which have voted overwhelmingly Democratic year after year. (There's a shocker!)

In 19th precinct of West Philadelphia’s 46th Ward, voters reported that all three machines were broken and election workers had resorted to using paper ballots. About people were waiting and many were leaving, the committee complaint report said.

in the 31st Ward’s 4th precinct, voters complained that one of the two machines were broken and there were no provisional ballots.

In the 59th Ward’s 5th precinct, only one of the machines was working when the polling site opened. There was a line of about 500 people waiting to vote.

There were fewer problems in Northeast Philadelphia, where the Republican Party is stronger. But in the 63d Ward’s 23d precinct, there were no voting machines, no paper ballots and election officials were turning people away, the committee reported."

Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
