Voting Problems, Tight Races Could Delay Election Results

[dogday]

Election night returns should begin to dribble in early Tuesday evening after the first polls close in Kentucky and Indiana, but the results of all of this year’s voting might not be clear for days.

With control of both chambers of Congress possibly hinging on narrow majorities, and with late polls showing tightening margins in many of the closest races, just determining which party will lead the House and the Senate next year may prove difficult.

Concerns about new voting systems and polling place rules also could complicate this year’s tabulations.

Electionline.org, a nonpartisan organization that monitors election procedures and technology, has warned about potentially serious voting problems in 10 states. New identification requirements for voters in some states and challenges involving new touch-screen voting machines and voter registration databases are among the possible culprits.
