My fellow Floridians began voting at 7AM this morning, with polls closing at 8PM tonight. Over a million ballots have already been cast, and overall things appear to be moving smoothly.

A few problems have been reported, however. A worker accidentally shut down the voting machines at the Kings Point precinct. The machines couldn’t be restarted, so new ones had to be brought out and programmed. Obviously that delayed voting for a bit.

At Precinct 2002 (Jeaga Middle School, West Palm Beach), someone allegedly tried to vote in a party primary that he/she wasn’t registered for. Precinct workers advised to be careful.

Precinct 5014 (9045 Jog Road, West of Boynton) opened an hour late this morning. Someone apparently delivered the voting machines to the wrong place. Apparently it was easy to miss the location, due to the lack of markings indicating the precinct. Several voters waited around, some left.

Then there’s this:

The 30-year-old says she noticed that the poll worker pushed the non-partisan button for her when assigning her card, even though she’s a registered Democrat. Nonpartisan voters cannot vote in the presidential primary.

When Monzon pointed this out, she says the poll worker sought out help from a supervisor, who then called the supervisor of elections office.

Monzon says that after the supervisor got off the phone with the elections office, she told Monzon and the poll worker that this problem is happening around the county and that there is nothing that can be done about it.

Monzon says other voters present had the same problem. In one case, a wife was able to vote and but her husband was not because his ballot was changed to nonpartisan.

Wonderful…

I’ll continue to update through the day, but I wanted to pass along this link. As results roll in, they’ll be posted there. That’s the official website, so apparently the official count.

Update: People being told to vote at the fair?

Voter Serena Eastland tells the Q that when she went to vote at the Village Center she was told to go to the Fairgrounds instead.

Well, there’s a Fair at the Fairgrounds.

The fair worker at gate 8 told her she was one of 100 or so people who’d been sent there and there’s no voting.

She went back to the village center and found that others had been misdirected to other locations, including the library.

She finally was directed to the old Target on SR 7 (now a church), where she was able to vote.

I know the location, and I also know that it’s well-known there was a fair at the fairgrounds. Mistake?

Update: Anti-Mitt calls from Team McCain. Lovely.
