My polling place was supposed to open at 0700. I was there at 0655 hoping to vote before I went to work. An hour later it was still not open and the line was over a block long.
They need close oversight moving forward, in my opinion.

What I see most in this article is the letter D after every elected official’s name.
We probably need about 49 other governors to do what this governor did.
And Voter ID
And a purge of the current registries
And Purple ink
And a few other things.
Is there any chance that SC will elect anyone who is NOT a Cheap Labor Express stooge?
True. No “city” is named, but the complaints are coming from (D) on the borard’s “side” and on the SC representative’s “side” ...
Governor a repubbie? Or Social Injustice Justus Warrior? But, complaining that this action “leaves a leadership void” when the acting chairman had not been replaced in more than 2 years? NONE of this makes sense in a normal world!

Republican Governor.
Democrats get democrats on election boards, and their sole priority is to see that democrats get elected. And as a backup, they get democrat judges in key positions to ensure election boards can manipulate elections. Nice to see a Republican with a backbone react appropriately.
Fire every election official in the country and replace them with high school seniors who are going to college for political science. They can add it to their resume.
Election personnel should be voluntary and for one political cycle only.
Only if you don't want to be labeled as a NeverTrumper, Hillary supporter.
Heh...
Not that it is germane to the topic, but the Republican Party in the Palmetto State sold their souls to the Cheap Labor Express some thirty years ago. But hey, we have thousands of $16 per hour jobs going begging. I guess it beats chopping cotton or picking peaches.
Corrupt, Demonrat county that can’t manage its own affairs (in this case, the state capital, Columbia). The same story anywhere the Demonrats are in charge.
As judge, I deal with most of the complaints personally. Even those which are total junk, I will call into the county election board and let the whiner give their version as well.
Occasionally, a whiner will go behind my back and complain to the election board directly. That happened in the 2016 election because the county board was fielding other calls and was unable to call me back right away.
Anyway, long story short was that a Hillary fan boy complained about what they considered an oversized Trump sign. I went out in the parking lot and took a look, saw nothing larger than a standard lawn sign on the back of a truck legally parked and further away from the polling entrance than most of the other lawn signs. I told them that, under the election law, the complaint was unwarranted, in my opinion but I would call my superiors on the country and ask them to rule.
The whiner told me I should order it removed until they ruled. I told them I would have it removed if and when they so ruled and that my decision would stand until then. He stomped off.
The elderly guy who owned the truck (a veteran who legally hands out literature most elections in our precinct) overheard part of the conversation and came up and offered to move the truck once the fanboy stomped off.
I told him the truck was welcome to stay based on what I had told the fanboy. He patted me on the shoulder and walked away. The county called me later, told me about the complaint, heard my version and backed me up.
This county is always on Live PD and for very good reason.
I love the Obama Market and the drug, drunk, hooker and gun motel!
