Voting machines and ballot tabulators are reportedly not functioning in several heavily Jewish areas in New York state. A precinct in Scarsdale, New York, saw its two voting machines fail as polls opened this morning. Meanwhile, several ballot scanners in Park Slope, Brooklyn, are reportedly broken, according to locals who went to cast their vote in the presidential race on Tuesday morning.
“We were told after filling in our ballots that all scanners were broken, so we should put our ballots in the emergency ballot boxes below the scanners, and they would be scanned in late,” Park Slope resident Miyuki Miyagi said.
“I didn’t even think to wait or ask for an alternative way to vote. The emergency ballot boxes were quite full already, too,” Miyagi added.
Park Slope is also home to a significant number of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who call Brooklyn home, as is Scarsdale. The war between Israel and Hamas has been a major issue on the campaign trail, particularly for Democrat Kamala Harris, who has a significant number of allies who are anti-Israel.
The National Pulse reported earlier this morning that Cambria County, Pennsylvania, suffered problems with its electronic vote tabulators, forcing the locality to switch to paper ballots and hand tabulation.
