A few problems on Election Day

May 15, 2008

PARKERSBURG — With the May primary wrapped up, Wood County experienced a few problems, but County Clerk Jamie Six said things went well.

Early in the day Tuesday, Six had to go out and replace and repair a number of printers on the voting machines. Also, the city started a water line repair on 16th Street that caused some problems for people to reach a polling location at Woodman Hall at 15th and Lynn streets.

There were also some electronic issues with some of the voting machines that caused a delay in tallying the votes. Six said they had the usually concerns of keeping campaign materials the proper distance from polling locations and other concerns.

However, one of the biggest problems some voters faced was people who were not affiliated with a particular party being able to get the primary ballot they wanted to vote on.
