Floyd County Hit by Voting Site Delays

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) _ A technology problem created delays of up to two hours at some voting sites in southern Indiana's Floyd County.
 
Democratic county election board member Bill Lohmeyer says a computer reboot glitch delayed Tuesday morning's opening at five of the Ohio River county's 11 polling sites. He says technicians got voting terminals at two of the sites online within a half hour and the three others were online by 8 a.m., or two hours late.
 
Lohmeyer says the affected voting terminals were used for early voting, during which 8,000 of the county's 40,000 registered voters cast ballots and something went wrong when those terminals were turned on Tuesday.
 
Lohmeyer says people at the affected sites weren't happy waiting in line, but were directed to other polling sites where they could vote.
