Dacusville SC: Paper ballets, the machines were not in place. Not sure why... Some reporter making a big deal about it.
I voted early straight R. Wife goes in on lunch to vote. We are in Idaho pretty red here but we do what we can.
Voted absentee a week ago in the Southernmost part of the Southernmost island of the Southernmost state in the U.S. Voted RED in a sick blue state. Aloha from Hawaii
“Some reporter making a big deal about it.”
After being in charge of elections for a few years (decades ago), not having machines in place when voting starts IS a big deal, legally. People can / will cry, “Disenfranchisement!”, which is kind-of is. Even though providing paper ballots is a perfectly acceptable work-around, if the press wants to raise a stink, they will. If someone is looking for an excuse for recount, etc., they’ll glom on to it. Best if all machines are tested and in place days before election day.
