Texas | Few polling problems reported so far in Central Texas

As of 12:30 p.m., I’ve only heard of three instances of polling problems in Travis and Williamson counties in Central Texas. Early this morning there were two polling locations in Travis County where the polling judges accidentally shut down their computer systems, causing a delay of about 20 minutes. Travis County uses touchpad ballots. During the noon hour in Williamson County, there was a bad car accident in Round Rock which caused an estimated one-hour delay at a polling location located in a fire station.

Other than these minor problems, there have been no stories from any of the local media of fraud or conflict at any polling sites. So far, so good.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.
