Polling problemsThe Chris Daly campaign just issued the following statement:
Almost 20 percent of the polling places in San Francisco’s District 6 are experiencing problems and irregularities in the early hours of Election Day, according to Supervisor Chris Daly’s campaign.
According to the Daly campaign, at least 10 out of 52 precincts have experienced problems ranging from late openings to voting machine failures to incomplete ballots. In one case, a precinct did not open until almost 90 minutes after the official 7 AM opening time, preventing many voters from casting their ballots. At the same time, the Department of Elections was telling the Daly campaign that the precinct was open. In another instance, witnesses saw a voting machine that was not turned on.
The Daly campaign encourages all media outlets to remind voters that the polls are open until 8 p.m. The campaign encourages all voters within District 6 to vote throughout the day.

Let the games begin. How 'interesting' that the first major f**k up with e-voting, requiring a Judge to issue an order keeping polls open longer, occured in OHIO !!, Cuyahoga County, that went 448,503 to 221,600 for Kerry over Bush in '04 !!!. Boy what a coincidence.
Steve, see ya at the 500 for a brew.
