I'd like to know more about why this election clerk quit -- seemingly at the very last second.

Voters in one mostly Hispanic polling site in Houston are unable to cast ballots for 4 hours.

HOUSTON — Voters at a large polling place in a predominantly Hispanic area of Houston were unable to cast ballots for roughly four hours on Tuesday, raising concerns that many who had arrived before work to vote would not return.

The problems at the site, east of downtown, began before the polls opened: an election clerk quit and the voting machines were not set up, county election officials said. The county was considering extending hours at the polling site and at a handful of others that opened late, said Leah Shah, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Elections Administrator’s Office

David Aguilar, 70, a retired musician, said he had arrived at the polling place before 6 a.m., anticipating long lines. But the doors did not open as planned at 7 a.m.

“They had the doors locked,” he said, describing a scene of confusion and mounting anger among voters who were turned away. “They were mad,” he said. “A lot were Latinas worried about disenfranchisement.”

Adrian Garcia, a Democratic county commissioner, who is running for re-election, was outside the polling place as voting resumed. “To have it be disrupted could discourage some people from voting,” Mr. Garcia said.

Mr. Aguilar, who said he eventually voted for Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic challenger to Gov. Greg Abbott, ended up waiting until 11 a.m. to cast his ballot and said he was among the first to do so. “I’m concerned about democracy,” he said.

Before the problems were resolved, voters were sent to surrounding polling places as lines grew. Across Houston, voters experienced long waits on Tuesday morning, in some cases more than 90 minutes.

I suppose you give yourself some wiggle room to come back later if you plan to vote early, but my wife voted early in-person yesterday and waited for hours.  I went to the same place at lunchtime today and had zero wait.  You never know.

Waited for about 30 min in line this morning on AZ. No big deal.

We have Americans that do not believe that all other Americans should have the right to vote. In the abstract, they believe all should have the right to vote but in practice, it's the opposite.

I'm sorry but for 20+ years I've been seeing variations on the same tweet/picture of "omg long line to vote at such and such college campus" and without fail the percentage of young voters is abysmal. The overwhelming majority of young people are not on college campuses. They are hunched over their devices at home while The Bachelor is on.

This, The young people will go to like and take a photo, post it on instagram and leave and pretend to vote.

the young ppl won’t save shit, all of them supported Bernie and none of them voted for them when it mattered. Banana In a tailpipe…

I took my wife to early vote on Friday, glad we did. We are in NW Harris County, and the school we went to first was overloaded with people, hour+ wait at noon. You couldn't find a parking spot, so people were parking in the grass. There was another place 20 minutes away at a nature preserve, so we went there and it was only a 10 minute wait. Gorgeous place too, lots of lakes, playgrounds, open fields, etc, it's a big flood plane for whenever we have another Harvey event. Will definitely go back with the kids sometime, it was great. 

I still can't believe they use paper ballots printed from an electronic machine. What a dumb system. Why can't we just log in online and do this shit?

Only because they’re starting to come out apparently - exit polls are not very reliable, especially with 45m voting early.

BUT:

45% approval of Biden and only 46% disapproval of his “policies”

Inflation and abortion top issues with everything else far behind 

5/10 say their vote has nothing to do with Biden; 2/10 way in support of Biden and 3/10 say in opposition 

 

only posting to get everyone freaking out for a bit longer until actual results come in lol

Exits also had Trump at 37-60 approval. That seems bad for a red wave, so i kinda don’t believe that to be accurate. But who knows

54-44 on whether the GOP is too extreme 

Abortion top issue in PA

College voters over 50% (white and non white). Also 35-34-31 R/D/I

We’ll know reasonably well what most are at except for a few tonight. It just won’t be official for a few days. The Rs will insist that they’re way up despite every successive dump eroding their leads. I posted here on Friday before the election 2020 that if Trumps lead in PA was less than X he lost. Josh Shapiro was on every new outlet the next day saying that Biden won PA, all that was left to do was finish the count.

Anyone know what happened to that lady who was luring asylum seekers on behalf of the GOP? It's difficult to find poll workers these days, makes you wonder if someone similar in the wings had an idea...
