Christopher Edley has written this Washington Post oped concerned about a lack of voting machines, especially in states like Virginia and Pennsylvania. A snippet: “What’s crucial is that state and local officials nationwide salvage the situation by implementing second-best strategies: For starters, redistribute machines on the basis of voter registration, instead of assuming that minorities won’t show up. Stockpile paper ballots, under lock and key, and offer a paper ballot voting option if wait times reach 45 minutes. Train platoons of reserve poll workers and stand by to shuttle them where they are needed. Commit right now to holding the polls open late if necessary. Advertise what you’re prepared to do. For heaven’s sake, a lot of people bled for this opportunity.” Bob Bauer comments.
