Long Lines, Yes. Longer Voting Times: Maybe.
There are longer-than-expected waits to vote in several parts of the country. In Durham, North Carolina, a pending lawsuit asks that poll closing times be extended by 90 minutes, to 9 p.m. Delays or problems with the voting process have been reported in states including Colorado, Florida and Pennsylvania.
I spoke with Pita Juarez of the One Arizona coalition, which is working to turn out Latino voters. She said that while turnout was strong, voting was slow in the morning because of problems with Wi-Fi and malfunctioning ballot machines. With people getting off of work in that state, she worries the lines will get even longer.
