Hillary Clinton Handout and Machines not working at polling place in Philadelphia PA - 4/26/2016 Democratic Primary - Bernie Sanders

At my voting location, which is a church with bibles on the voter sign-in tables in North Philadelphia (National Temple Baptist Church at 1628 Master St, Philadelphia, PA 19121), there was "Vote for Hillary Clinton" campaign advertisement at the front door as people enter, which is against the law. The voting station worker states that the "MACHINES WEREN'T WORKING" and that the person who is "SUPPOSED to be handing them out" wasn't here. This polling station is obviously not even attempting to remain unbiased, and is pressuring voters to vote Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders. I'd guess that this issue is prevalent at more Philadelphia polling locations than just one.

The PA law states:

"a) No person, when within the polling place, shall electioneer or solicit votes for any political party, political body or candidate, nor shall any written or printed matter be posted up within the said room, except as required by this act. All persons, except election officers, clerks, machine inspectors, overseers, watchers, persons in the course of voting, persons lawfully giving assistance to voters, and peace and police officers, when permitted by the provisions of this act, must remain at least ten (10) feet distant from the polling place during the progress of the voting. (Pa. Consol. Stat. Ann. § 3060 (c); (d))"
