Texas: Voters report problems at polling locations, frustrated with long lines | Click2 Houston
People across the Houston area are heading to the polls to decide several key issues and pick Houston’s next mayor. Some voters, however, have already reported problems at some polling locations. A loose wire is to blame for a voting mishap at one location, where some voters waited over an hour before they were allowed to cast a ballot. “The polls have been stalled, I guess,” said Alayna Pagnani Gendron. “I don’t know what’s going on.” At one point, the line at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church on Waugh Drive stretched out the door, filled with voters who were not allowed to vote. “It was ridiculous. An hour and a half to get the polls open,” said Brenda Lemoine.
