Seeing Twitter reports of high turnout in AL, AND broken voting machine in pro-Clinton polling place




1 working voting machine at Frazer polling place. Long line waiting with filled ballots in hand. Poll worker says 2nd machine broke & the crowd is bigger than expected, that they've reached out twice for another machine



Brad Harper is a reporter in Montgomery.

According to the replies there. the Frazer polling place would be Frazer United Methodist Church, and Frazer precincts went 52-44 for Clinton.

Bad knees, kids to pick up, a need to use the bathroom, hunger, a job, etc. are all things that would cause people to have to bail.

There should be a quick response to fix or replace machines with problems. Lots of time to prepare for this.

They probably have extra machines in Republican strongholds to keep people there and voting.
