Hinds County(Jackson)

Hinds County. Voting results displayed one result in poll watcher area, but the officials machine produced differing numbers at the same time,

and claimed there was a computer "glitch" on the computer in the poll watcher area. Story

26-year-old graduate student said she registered to vote at a local church, but learned her form had been rejected by the clerk's office

because the name of her dorm wasn't listed. The clerk's office never informed her of the problem, she said. She has since learned that

dozens of students are having the same problem. Story Archive

Officials asked to visit heavily black precinct to check reports that voting machines were separated for Democrats and Republicans,

with more machines on the GOP side. The situation was corrected by mid-morning after numerous complaints. Story
