Jackson County, a typically heavy Republican county in Mississippi, is having technical and logistics issues today. People have been reportedly leaving precincts due to the issues.
A statement just released from the Election Commission says:
"We are experiencing equipment issues at some polling locations across Jackson County, resulting in delays for voters. Today is the first election using the county’s new voting machines.
"We recognize that your time is valuable, and we apologize for the delays and frustration this has caused.
"We ask for your patience and understanding with our poll workers and encourage you to remain in line to cast your ballot.
"If you are in line at 7 p.m. tonight, you have the right to vote……….even if your wait extends past closing time. Please stay in line.
"Thank you for your patience and your commitment to making your voice heard."
I am compiling a list of all the places where there were weird voting things happening today. If y'all could help by sending me any news you see about it, or tagging me in posts, I would love you forever! 🥺
NEW: @TheJusticeDept provides “status report” after judge allows polling monitors deployed by the federal government—But limits who can participate and what they can do—The DoJ saying none of the monitors will be acting in the capacity from the agency they come from, they are not being sent as law enforcement.

🚨CHECK YOUR MAIL IN BALLOT WAS COUNTED #Georgia
“I mailed my absentee ballot nearly 3 weeks ago and when I checked online, all I could see was an old date this morning. I went to my polling place and the Poll workers checked the system for me. They confirmed there was no record on my ballot being received.
George Family, if you mailed your ballot and you’re seeing an old date too, please make time today to go to your assigned polling place and check in person. Polls are open from 7 AM to 7 PM. Tell the poll workers you mailed your ballot and ask them to verify whether it was received. If there’s no record of it, ask what steps you can take to vote today.”
Note: I was one of the few journalists to write about this, both for @miamiherald and an analysis in my Substack. For some reason, a lot of media didn't run the story, or failed to mention the on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president.
Trump is omitting a key fact.
