Is there a formula for the that determines how many voting machines per 1,000 voters?
Personally I've never really had to wait very long to cast a vote. I think the longest I've had to stand in line is about 30 minutes.
Not only is the Secretary of State, Husted limiting Democratic counties voting rights, I wonder how few voting machines will be distributed to Democratic precincts.
Can we get the UN to monitor our elections?

With about a 15% failure ratio I might add.

(45,558 posts)I was on the Board of Elections in Cuyahoga County and am quite familiar with how these things works.
The board of elections in each county assigns precinct voting materials. The board of elections, all 88 of them, have two republicans and two democrats decided by a party vote conducted by the county chairs for each party.
The SOS assigns how voting will be conducted to the various boards and it is up to the various boards on how to assign resources.
I don't know why i keep posting this but I do believe this is about the tenth time I have and people who have never set foot in Ohio refute me because some anonymous post claims there is fraud run rampant in Ohio.
Sure things break down in the process, it happens every where around the country, but the voting totals are gathered and counted at each local board and then sent to the SOS. Each tally must be okayed by the four board members, two democrats and two republicans.
The official results are the responsibility of the 88 boards of election and not the Secretary of State.
Of course there are problems, look at all that could happen. Here in Cuyahoga Country certain voting locations stall sending their votes to the Board because they want to be the voting location that gave the election to such and such.
