35. 2 voting machines in Ohio urban precinct for 1300 votes; 1000 dont vote
In an Ohio precinct that had 1300 registered voters, only 2 vote machines were provided- old punch card systems. They average 10 voters per hour. Thus 2 machines could handle about 240 voters if things went well. So what happened to the other voters.
The headlines read long waiting lines in Cleveland precincts.
But results showed very low vote turnout of voters. In other words in precincts like this, most weren't allowed to vote.
