Nationwide voting machines facing glitches early on Election Day

Americans who woke early on Election Day to cast their votes have faced delays and other complications caused by malfunctioning voting machines across the country, according to various reports.

The exact malfunction is unclear but some polling sites in Missouri and Ohio have been forced to switch to using paper poll books to check voters in after the check-in electronic pads slowed to a crawl due to the high volume.

Voting was delayed in Christian County, Mo., a state President Trump handily won in 2016, due to a glitch on the electronic polling pads, according to a report by local TV network KY3.

Voters managed to sign their names in a notebook on Tuesday morning and officials are going from precinct-to-precinct to fix the issue.

In California’s Riverside County, machines there became overwhelmed on Saturday by the number of voters looking up their registration, a local official told newspaper The Press-Enterprise.
