BREAKING NEWS: 100 voting machines brokenMore than 100 voting machines are reported to be broken across the city, the Daily News has learned.Apparently, the machines were broken when polls opened this morning -- they keep spitting out the paper tape that keeps the tally of the vote. It is the largest breakdown since we started using the new voting machines. The broken machines were first reported in the
weblog for TheNextMayor.com. Expect more on this story in tomorrow's Daily News.The local ABC affiliate has more details. Amongst them...
The biggest problems have been at voting locations where multiple failures have been reported. Ward 12, Division 20 in Germantown is one such location. Judge of Elections Bernard Bibbs followed the routine startup procedure, but neither machine would activate. In one case, the write-in paper tape just unrolled and then refused to roll back up. In the other case, the machine will only beep and do nothing else.

Bernard Bibbs/Judge of Elections: "We set them up the way they're supposed to be run electronically. They've been shut down all morning.... We're dead."Similar problems have popped up across the city. Machines by the score have failed to operate. In most places, at least one machine is functioning. In those places where all the machines are down, voters can request a paper ballot. >>>cont
