Durham County NC's most liberal county - lots of voter issues
Nov 08, 2016 7:17am CST by durhammichael

This is breaking, but something in Durham County has gone wrong this morning. This is the bluest county in the state and the computers don’t seem to be working properly. A lot of folks being turned away from the polling locations this morning in Durham. They’ve gone to pen and paper check-in only.

Welp. Precinct officials in Durham County have been told to stop using the computers for voter check-in and to start using the poll books.

There is apparently some kind of county-wide technical problem that has necessitated reverting to pen and paper. 📝

From Durham County Website:
Appears the problem will only affect wait time.

Anyone who knows more about this, please post.
Lines will be long enough without this problem. Hope it is fixed.
