Summit County. In response to a mandate from Blackwell ... or to save the tax payers' money ... or in anticipation of new voting equipment -- the county elections board members don't agree -- but whatever the reason, the county reduced it's polling places by about one-quarter, causing long lines on Nov. 2, especially in the city's predominantly African-American wards.

Columbus. Carol Shelton was the presiding judge at a Columbus precinct with three machines for 1,500 registered voters. At her home precinct in Clintonville, she said there were three machines for 730 voters. "I called to get more machines and got connected to Matt Damschroder, and after lots of hassle he sent a fourth machine," she said. "It did not put a dent in the long lines."

Cincinnati. "We've had reports that poll workers aren't doing a very good job putting people in the right lines for their precincts," said Molly Lombardi, a spokeswoman for the Election Protection Coalition. "People stood in line for over an hour in the rain in some places only to find they were in the wrong line. A lot of them gave up and went home."
