Breaking in Orange & Durham County NC

"Welp. Precinct officials in Durham County have been told to stop using the computers for voter check-in and to start using the poll books."

"There is apparently some kind of county-wide technical problem that has necessitated reverting to pen and paper."

Sorry, she is in Orange County:

Also, check out @BullCityVa's tweets about an AA man and woman leaving a polling place in Orange County after they were told they weren't on the voter rolls

This is disheartening and if there's dirty tricks behind it, truly disgusting and deplorable. For a country that prides itself on the sanctity of the vote, it's amazing how far some will go to suppress said vote. Stay in line folks, if you can, and have your voice heard. Your voice in NC is too important.
