DEL.ICIO.USClayton results delayed
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Voting went smoothly in Clayton County on Tuesday.
Vote counting did not.
The first results weren’t posted until 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, and counting went well into the early morning hours Wednesday.
County officials said voting machines could not be transported from the precincts when the polls closed at 7 p.m. because the computerized cards that were supposed to lock voting machines did not work. That meant new cards had to be sent to all 53 precincts.
“We got a bad batch of cards,” said Annie Bright, elections director.
“We can’t shorten the process,” said Bob Bolia, chairman of the county board of elections and registration. “We do the best we can with what we’ve got.”
