Huge turnout is hit by problems across the country!
Broken voting machines, faulty software, and ballots locked inside a foreclosed strip mall.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 6, 2018 - States are struggling to handle an overwhelming voter turnout on Tuesday, as machines break down, waits are hours long, and people are reporting an overall sense of confusion.
Amerikans across the country showed up to their polling places in droves, and it seems several counties were not prepared for the surge.
In Atlanta, people were seen leaving stations because wait times were stretching more than three hours. Long lines also marred voting in New York, as one man described the scene as a “mosh pit”.
Several counties in South Carolina, Texas and Georgia have reported technical issues with machines, resorting to paper ballots until the issue was resolved.
In Detroit, citizens arrived to a high school to find no machines available, and in Florida a gun scare caused a polling place to be put on lockdown for 40 minutes.
In a town outside Phoenix, Arizona, early risers showed up to their polling station only to find the location had been foreclosed overnight.
