Voting delayed at four polling sites in Congressional District 8 election
Source: The Arizona Republic
Equipment malfunctions caused two polling sites to open up to two hours late Tuesday morning, and interrupted voting attwo others in the afternoon in the closely watched West Valley special election for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Although the problems surfaced during the morning and afternoon voting rush, special elections usually attract lower turnout and most voters cast ballots by mail. Election officials estimated the delays affected at least 20 people in the morning and about 70 people in the afternoon.
The race to fill an open seat in the 8th Congressional District is between Republican former state Sen. Debbie Lesko and Democratic former emergency room doctor Hiral Tiperneni.
Both the computerized voter check-in system and the printer that spits out ballots were down, said Faciana, an information technology technician for The Arizona Republic.

He represents West fuckin Virginia! You think a Warren Democratic would win there? Would you rather a republican?
The man is going to need huge support to win that seat this year. A person who does not back him is supporting a Republican.
This bullshit if attacking less liberal democrats in red states has to stop!!
