Dear RobFromGa,

Yes, I think it's possible.

I noticed that Prince George's County didn't get an extension for voting tonight. Yet, I read of problems throughout the county. This is a county of 800,000 or more folks, nearly 65% black. A third of the black vote in the entire state.

These folks may just wonder why problems in whiter, richer Montgomery County got an extension, but the same problem in blacker, poorer Prince George's County didn't.

We'll have to see Mr. Mfume's reaction to it all. And Mr. Cardin's, as well.

Summary Box: Human error causes problems at polling places
Tuesday September 12, 2006
ERRORS CAUSE DELAYS: Human error at polling places in Baltimore city and Montgomery County caused a number of polling places to open late.

THE PROBLEMS: In Baltimore, some judges failed to show up on time and others had trouble getting inside facilities. In Montgomery County, election officials failed to deliver computer cards to activate electronic voting machines.

WHAT'S BEING DONE: In Baltimore, a Circuit Court judge ordered the polls to remain open an extra hour, until 9 p.m., after the Maryland Democratic Party sued. In Montgomery County, the county board of elections was granted a petition in Circuit Court to extend voting hours to 9 p.m., also adding an hour.
