2:51 p.m.: Hours of voting delays at an Islamic school

At a voting precinct in an Islamic school in Canton, Crescent Academy, voting machines were down for a few hours this morning, said Ken Coleman, a spokesman for Anil Kumar, a Democrat running for U.S. House Rep. "To have people eager and ready to vote but can't because of these type of problems is simply outrageous," Coleman said. The problem appears to have been corrected and the machines are now working. -- Niraj Warikoo, Staff writer

Did they work fine when the test run was made?
Or was there no test run. Did they just pull the machines out of a 4 yr storage & power them up this morning?

We need an overhaul of our voting system. "Most of the machines are 10 yrs old", per morning news.

Hillary has said she will address the voting registration system, (& no doubt the antiquated machines we use.)
