Voter turnout leads to long lines and some snags


U.S. Election officials are hoping for a record high turnout on Tuesday in the historic election. The total amount of people registered to vote is up 7.3% from the last presidential election. There where such line up to vote in some districts that some people had to wait up to Eight hours just to cast a ballot. In New York people started to line up at 4:00am to try and beat the rush of voters. In New Jersey People had to start using paper ballots due to problems with the electronic voting machines. I Virginia a librarian overslept causing a polling station to not open on time.


I am suprized on the amount of mis hapes there were on such a big occasion. The article that I did this on had tones of difficuties that have happend on the day of election that i couldn;t include all of them.
