Dallas Morning News: Long lines, broken machines causing frustration for some voters in Dallas, Tarrant counties

Tuesday’s primary got off to a rocky start for some voters in Dallas County who complained of long lines, understaffed polling places, broken machines, and closed locations. …

Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, expressed frustration about Tuesday’s voting problems but vowed volunteers would ensure everyone could cast their vote.

“I would frankly chalk up most of the issues we’re seeing today to Texas being a state that doesn’t prioritize voting,” Gutierrez’s said in a written statement. “Problems like the Secretary of State website crashing and the widespread voting technology issues could have been easily avoided if the state allocated resources towards election infrastructure.”
