Palm Beach County poll woes
Advertisements [?]
Palm Beach County’s early voting system continues to misfire as it moves into its fourth day.Case in point. County Commissioner Burt Aaronson was called to the election site at the county library in West Delray Wednesday morning after voters complained that all the pamphlets explaining the eight constitutional amendments on the ballot were in Spanish
The commissioner also said he had to send a member of the county staff to Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore’s office because he could not reach her by phone.

Century Village resident Jim Solt offered a frustrating tale of his decision to vote on Monday. “I went to the West Boca library, I got there about 9:15, and there were about 100 people. I noticed the line wasn’t moving. So one election official came out and he strongly suggested we go home. I stayed until 11:15, when the problem was fixed. But it was still a hassle.”

Manning, Aaronson and others are taking LePore to task for messing up the process. In fact, Manning, a World War II veteran, offered an emotional indictment. “The right to vote is something people die for,” he said. “I saw my friends die in front of my eyes.”
