Starting a thread on voting problems today. In Texas border patrol conducting "crowd control exercise" in Latino neighborhood of El Paso. Dem state reps call it "a cynical effort to suppress the Latino vote in a region seeing record turnout.” texastribune.org/2018/11/06/bor…
Multiple polling sites were closed this am in Maricopa County AZ (Phoenix). At one polling place building in foreclosure. This is same county where they had 5 hour lines in 2016 primary because closed 70% polling sites fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-n…
Voting machines malfunctioning in Georgia's largest counties, leading to long lines at polls. Georgia is one of 5 states that use electronic voting machines with no paper backups ajc.com/news/local-gov…
Voters in Missouri wrongly being told they need photo ID to vote. You can vote with non-photo ID, such as voter registration card kansascity.com/news/politics-…
300,000 registered voters in Alabama, 1 in 10 voters, are listed as inactive. If you're listed as inactive when you go to vote you can still cast a regular ballot mynbc15.com/news/local/mor…
I'm at Election Protection call center in NYC where hundreds of lawyers taking calls from voters, trying to make sure their votes count. Shout out to the thousands of @866OURVOTE volunteers helping people vote today
County clerk in Dodge City KS not allowing media in polling site. They have 1 polling site for 13,000 in city 61% Hispanics & moved it outside of town, 1 mile from bus stop
4.5 hour lines in Georgia because voting machines malfunctioned. Elections there now resemble former Soviet republic motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Voting problems so far today:

Tribal IDs not accepted in Standing Rock ND

4.5 hour lines b/c machines malfunctioning in GA

Voters wrongly being asked for ID in MO

300,000 inactive voters in AL

Ballot scanners not working in NC

Polling sites opened late in AZ & IN
In Sioux County ND, home to Standing Rock reservation, election officials ran out of ballots & told Native voters to drive 30 minutes to another polling place. Insane
Brian Kemp said that 53,000 voters on his pending registration list could cast regular ballots. But there were hundreds of reports today of voters turned away from polls or forced to cast provisional ballots @pemalevy reports motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
OMG Brian Kemp himself had trouble voting today, brought an invalid voting card. Good thing this guy is overseeing his own election
