At this precinct, for some reason the election workers have
three lists of eligible voters. For each voter, they are checking the voter's
eligibility against all three lists. If the voter is not on all three lists,
they are being asked for additional information and in some cases being
forced to complete provisional ballots. As a result, the act of voting is in
some cases taking 20-45 minutes per voter. ovpc13 |

regardless of the reason they are not on the rolls or are challenged
