for two reasons: The HAVA act and state statutes and state election guidelines require that there be enough machines AND preventing voters from having a chance to vote by having lines and waits that are extreme are violations of civil rights. By the way, I read that voters who were not able to vote before the polls closed had to use provisional ballots--a virtual guarantee their votes could very well be discarded (for one reason in particular, that the four "party" representatives who determine their validity have to agree that the signatures match to the registration cards).
