Officials warned residents to brace for long lines and wait times early on election morning when polling workers began using the old-fashioned method to check in voters after learning that their electronic check-in system was not fully updated with new data.

"It's important to note that this does NOT impact voting machines in any way, and only modifies how voters are checked in," a spokesperson for La Rose said on Twitter.

“Technical difficulties” in Allegheny County, PA too.

They’ve only had how long to get ready for today? 4 years!

Is this a ploy to slow/limit R voters on election day??

Attempting to suppress heavily Republican in-person voting by slowing down the lines. It won’t work.

I don’t know why anyone would use touch screen ballots.

Glad I requested my absentee ballot mid Sept.
I took Ohio a month to get it to me.

Not impressed with LaRose and company.

hahaha I’m in a no early in-person voting state, so I’m voting today. No way was I going to trust by ballot to any fanatics in the USPS.

Using paper is the GA failsafe/last resort as well.

It works.
