A surge in voter interest Tuesday morning met with a blank website screen for Harris County polling places, as officials contended with a rash of problems that left primary voters in longer lines or looking for new locations.
Voters make their way to the polling place at Hardy Road Senior Center for the Texas Primary Election Tuesday, March 1, 2022 in Houston.
Siegel called the problems a “a complete failure on behalf of Lina Hidalgo’s un-elected, unaccountable elections administrator.” “We learned our lesson in November and had double the number of people answering the line,” Hakin said. “You’re not going to remember everything from it,” she said, noting that elections officials instruct those at polls to call in for assistance when needed.
Evbagharu said he doubted isolated issues or one closed polling location would significantly affect turnout in many places. Anyone can vote anywhere in the county, a change from elections prior to 2020, and those coming out for a primary election in a non-presidential year are typically die-hard voters, he said.Voters, meanwhile, are facing their own confusion in some locations. Many are reporting concerns that the ballots they are being offered do not include races they are eligible to vote in.
