NY Daily News ^ | 9/14/10 | CELESTE KATZ

Apparently even Sen. Chuck Schumer isn't immune to the pitfalls of the new voting system.

What the hElmo is going on with these voting machines?

A party insider told me Schumer showed up at his polling place, P.S. 321 in Park Slope, Brooklyn, at 5:55 a.m.

"They don't open the polling place until 6:10... They can't figure out how to open the machine and he is, like, screaming at the staff that he wants to vote," the insider said.

And don't you know I set my watch ahead 15 minutes so I'm never late to anything?

It’s almost comical how they think they are so much more important than the rest of us. Hey, chuck, it’s not like you are rushing to your office to read the 2,000 page healthcare bill! More than likely an early tee time. Chuck you sure are a laugh a minute.

Schumer is not the only one.

Conservative Party Ballot does not fit.

Uh oh. Dem political operatives are going to have to figure out how to open the new machines, and fast. Its getting harder and harder to manufacture votes these days. LOL.

Someone I know very well was on an assignment for a contractor helping NYC with the new voting equipment. He went to Bronx & Queens for a whole week. He said they were no way ready to have an election, but they (the contracted employees sent there to help) could not get the city workers to do anything. They had mandatory 1/2 hour breaks each morning and afternoon, mandatory full hour for lunch, with 1.5 hour for lunch on Friday so they can deposit their paychecks (do they not have direct deposit in NY?). They were very careful about not starting any project that would run into their set break times. They would not do anything to help with the testing or implementation unless it was specifically within their job descriptions, or was something specifically requested by their supervisors. It was much more important that the union rules all be observed than that they get ready for the actual election coming up. This does not surprise me to hear that it was chaotic (if not worse)...

Bloomers throwing a faux tantrum about the hours long delays in polling places opening. Some told that there is NO republican primary voting today.

Other place, there are no machines. Machines damaged and inoperable.

Bloomers time in NYC.

No... Democrats vote tomorrow. Tell Chuck E Cheese to go home and come back... There is most certainly a Republican vote today.

I had no trouble voting in Manhattan, around noon. The staff were very helpful and the machine appeared to operate fine (I don't know what went on inside it though).
