Voting in the Big Easy not so easy
In New Orleans, where support is weakest for the Louisana ban on gay marriage, they may have a hard time voting. Seems delivery of the voting machines was delayed this morning, but only in the big city:
Many New Orleans voters were unable to cast ballots Saturday on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage because voting machines had not been delivered to polling places, a state official said.
At least 35 precincts did not have voting machines because drivers hired to deliver the machines had apparently not shown up for work, said Scott Madere, a spokesman for Secretary of State Fox McKeithen.
Workers in McKeithen's office, including McKeithen, were driving trucks Saturday morning to deliver the machines from a warehouse in east New Orleans, Madere said. He said New Orleans was the only city to experience the problem.
Yeah, that seems fair, doesn't it?
