– Quincy Election News from Quincy Quarry News
Quincy voting machine problems continue to be reported.
First, an apparently unreliable as well as arguably misnamed AccuVote voting machine at Atherton Hough Elementary School went down for the count shortly after the polls opened this morning.
As reported earlier in Quincy Quarry, a “manual” vote processing alternative plan was initiated given the breakdown.
Particularly troubling was word from this polling place that a supporter of the embattled incumbent Mayor Koch is handling the ballots during the manual “processing” of ballots.
Further troubling, one of Quincy Quarry’s legion of Citizen Journalists now reports that a voting machine at the Lincoln-Hancock School has apparently also gone down for the count.
Quincy Quarry attempted to contact someone at City Hall for comment; however, no one answered the phone and the place was found all but deserted when the Quarry then dropped by to try to find anyone able to offer up official comment.
Apparently, Election Day in Quincy has become of the Hack High Holidays.
Regardless, expect Quincy Quarry to continue to follow this breaking badly hyper wicked local bad news of breaking voting machines until such time as perhaps the feds might come to the Q and perhaps impound them.
As always, Quincy Quarry seeks to break stones whenever, wherever and upon whomever such might be deserved.
Anyone having issues with their ballot box not working when voting should call the secretary of states office and complain 617-727-2828. Tell them where you vote.
Three voting machines having issues in Quincy when trying to submit ballot on voting day? Something is fishy!
The Secretary of states office reports the public has a right to be at any voting center and watch the votes be counted. You can stay for the count.
Yes, someone needs to keep a constant eye on ALL the ballot boxes from the minute they leave the polling places and during any ‘manual’count until the last vote is tallied and recorded. And then checked again. We don’t want anything falling off a truck, being ‘mistakenly’ burned at the DPW yard, or otherwise being disappeared.
