Slashdot: Voting Machines Wreck Havoc in Maryland Elections
In Montgomery, Anne Arundel, and PG county, special access cards to the Diebold systems were forgotten by the County Board of Elections and didn’t arrive until 9am.
In Baltimore, it was the judges tardiness that kept polling places shut until nearly 9am.
Across the board, it was poor training in the new state-wide systems for electronic voting machines.
