NPR: Voting rights advocates say there have been no major concerns so far

Voting rights advocates have been monitoring polling sites across the country today for any potential issues.

Susannah Goodman, director of election security for the government watchdog group Common Cause, says some polling sites are seeing their lines of voters grow because of issues with voting machines, including ballot scanners that need fixing.

(Maricopa County in Arizona says 20% of polling places there are having an issue with tabulating machines.)

But Goodman stresses there are no major concerns so far.

“These are things we see in every election cycle. There are glitches in the system. But election administrators have learned from the past and they have resiliency built in.”
