19. Machine malfunctions in Virginia and Pennylvana. Absentee ballots not received.
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 06:15 PM by avaistheone1
"We're having statewide problems in Virginia and Pennsylvania, mostly having to do with machine breakdowns that are resulting in people in some cases not getting to vote and people being given the wrong types of ballots," said Jon Greenbaum, the director of the Voting Rights Project for the Lawyers' Committee.

For example, the coalition said that poll workers used machine malfunctions as grounds for issuing provisional ballots to some voters.

"A lot of the communities being affected are predominantly minority," Greenbaum said. In Pennsylvania, another key state, the coalition reported malfunctions of electronic, touch-screen voting machines in at least a dozen locations, mainly in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas. Paper jams on optical scanners that record paper-ballot votes also slowed voting.

Adding to the Election Day friction, voters across the state complained that they requested absentee ballots, but never received them.

31. Sequoia Voting Systems Failed to Deliver 18,000 Absentee Ballots to Colorado County

Sequoia Voting Systems, one of the top four voting machine vendors in the country, failed to print and deliver more than 18,000 absentee ballots to Denver County, Colorado, even though the company had assured officials the ballots were delivered, according to the Denver Post.

http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/11/postal-service.html


Looks like the Colorado battleground will be tougher than imagined with thousands of missing absentee ballots missing, and 1 in 9 voters purged from the voting rolls.
