Voters in Queens faced significant delays on Election Day, with malfunctioning ballot scanners causing long lines, with wait times exceeding two hours at some polling sites.
Polling center officials reported that numerous scanners were out of order, leading to chaos as voters had to scan their ballots multiple times or leave them in emergency bins.
Lulu Friesdat from SMART Elections indicated that some polling locations saw lines as long as two hours due to only one of several ballot scanners functioning properly.
Many voters expressed their frustration on social media, recounting their difficulties with polling staff suggesting they trust that their ballots would be counted despite being left in emergency bins.
