Voting equipment down at several locations in Cuyahoga County; elections chief says all votes will be counted
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Many Northeast Ohioans who voted today found long lines and some malfunctioning balloting equipment.
Poll workers and voters in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Cleveland and Hudson all reported long lines with wait times up to 45 minutes. Other voters, including Mitch Swint in Parma Heights, reported problems with the machines that were supposed to count the ballots.
Swint, who voted about 8:30 a.m. at Parma Park Elementary School, was told to insert his ballot in a slot on the bottom of the machine because it wasn't working.
"I didn't think it was an issue at the time," Swint said. "But once I got into my car I felt a little strange, almost like it [my ballot] was cast aside."
