Disgraceful
The conduct of this election was absolutely disgraceful yesterday. Of course, I shouldn't actually say yesterday since as of right now only 86.4% of the precincts in Anne Arundel County are actually reporting over thirteen hours after the polling places closed.
We paid millions for a system so that campaign poll watchers (and I was one of them) could wait for individual printouts from every machine and try to add numbers on the fly to figure out what was going on. How can we have machines that don't print one tally?
On top of that, we have paid millions of dollars for machines that we can't actually know the results by the next morning. How come the results have not been updated online for almost seven hours?
As much as I usually don't agree with him, Kweisi Mfume is right about one thing: what happened yesterday in regarding to voting should have never happened.

I agree, it was disgraceful, but all is well that ends well, eh?
