11. Chester County PA polls now closing 10 pm!

Nov 4

I was a poll greeter today near where I live in Chester County. Early in the morning, it was discovered that there was not a single independent/ Libertarian/ Green etc listed in the sign in books! A (righteously) angry voter came storming outside and yelled at absolutely everyone (both us at our table and the Republican table people ) The Rs tried to tell him “This is why we need change, look what the Dems are doing” He screamed at her to shut up, and yelled that both parties are communists. // We heard the mistake was that SOMEHOW, for whatever reason (!) no one at Voter Services had caught that the templates for the books from the primaries(!) had been reused (?!) which naturally don’t include independents. So all of the independents etc who showed up (in the entire county) had no other choice but to vote on provisional ballots. Until AFTER 5:00 when the additional booklets finally arrived. Ain’t that a pip!!!!

So, it’s 8:00 here now, and yes, while the polls are still open another two hours, everyone who comes in will have to vote provisionally… !!! What a sh*t show.
