Indiana Polling Place Shut Down By Squirrel

Voting in a portion of Indiana, a key battleground state, was apparently disrupted by a squirrel, CBS Chicago reports:

[V]oters going to one polling location in Hammond discovered that that power was out after a squirrel got into a substation, putting over 1,300 customers in the dark. As a result, voters were unable to cast their ballots on the electronic voting machines. It was unclear how many voters were affected.

This occurred in the Robertsdale community in Hammond. The mayor's office says it is checking to see if any of the polling places are affected.

This squirrel was clearly a Republican operative, trying to suppress votes!

Still waiting on 56 precincts in Lake County, Indiana (NW Indiana on Central time- mostly democratic) to report. Also waiting on the entire county of Wayne County (Eastern Indiana- eastern time- mostly republican) to report. I can see why it's taking longer for Lake County to report- they are an hour behind. But what kind of dir ty tri cks are the Republicans in Eastern Indiana playing tonight? Why are they not reporting ANY votes?
