Reply #4: great link, thanks, I reported my problems that weren't in thier database

I but there are thousands more that went unreported. And my problem was one that affected hundreds of voters so if all of them called it would show a real blot on my precinct.

I tried the 866 # but it is not working. I reported my incident to an 800 # but I didn't see it listed in your database, so here it is.
Please add it to your database.

I voted at precinct 27 in Rochester Hills, MI Oakland county. St. Mary's of the Hill Church.

My wife and I arrived at 5pm and there was a very long line, I didn't vote till about 7pm. While I was voting, the optical scan reading machine broke down. The election officials were unable to repair the machine so that it would accept ballots. After about 15 minutes of this, voters began leaving thier ballots on table next to the machine. Soon the election official unlocked the secondary bin under the scanner and had us drop the ballots in this bin.

So two big problems, super long line and major machine problem.

Here's the kicker, the GOP had two "challengers" working the precinct. One kept tabs of who voted with a palm pilot, while the assistant would come by and "flash" the updated list to his palm pilot. Presumably to contact voters who hadn't gone to the polls yet. Neither showed any interest in finding out if the machine was going to get fixed or if the problem could cause voters to give up and go home.
When I did GOTV in Ca and there was a poll problem I was on the phone ASAP.

Again, please add the incident to your database.

Best Regards,
