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.

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.
