Voting Rights Watch: Voting problems continue to plague Virginia

By Desiree Evans / November 4, 2008

The Election Protection hotline 1-866-OUR-VOTE is reporting more voting problems in Virginia. From EP's OurVoteLive website:

In Virginia:
  • Dozens of polling places are experiencing varying degrees of machine malfunction. Some polling places are either completely closed or have been closed for hours. Thousands of voters may have been turned away illegally by polling workers. 
  • Voters have illegally been issued with provisional ballets where machines have been broken.
  • Students at Virginia Tech, previously the victims of misinformation, have seen their polling place suddenly and unexpectedly moved six miles to a location with little parking.
