Librarian Oversleeps In Virginia

At one precinct in Richmond, hundreds of people encircled a branch library by 6 a.m., the scheduled opening of the polls.

Apparently Robbins has been voting at that polling place for more than a decade, but today his name wasn't on the register.

Car Hits Utility Pole In Minnesota, Knocks Out Power At Polling Locations

Perhaps the most bizarre barrier to voting was a car which hit a utility pole in St. Paul's Merriam Park neighborhood. The accident knocked power out for over an hour to two polling locations.

Rain Soaked Voters Get Ballots Wet, Damage Optical Scan Ballots

Some voting machines are not working properly in Chesapeake, Virginia because of wet weather, according to voters and the State Board of Elections. Spokesman Ryan Enright confirmed the rain is throwing a wrench in the works in a few places that use optical-scan paper ballots.

He said ballots were getting soaked as water drips off wet voters walking into polling stations. That makes the scanner unable to read a ballot.

Obama Nearly Ran Into Bill Ayers When He Went To Vote

In a near miss, Barack Obama almost ran into Bill Ayers at the voting booth Tuesday.
