Did Mass. voters face any issues at the polls on Tuesday?

Election Day did not come without a few issues at some polling places in Massachusetts, including in Boston and Lynn.

In the North End, Boston election officials said a ballot tabulator machine briefly lost power and needed to be reset. They said the machine worked without incident after that, but out of an abundance of caution, election officials hand counted all of the ballots cast before the tabulator was interrupted.

They said voters were able to continue casting their ballots, they were able to power the machine back up and votes were cast normally after that.

There was another technical problem in Lynn. City officials there said a programming error by their vendor caused the tapes that print from the ballot tabulators to be mislabeled.

The ballots used by voters had the correct names on them, but the issue caused Democrat Mariah Lancaster -- who lost the primary to Dan Koh -- to appear on the result tape in place of Republican Micah Jones. The vendor confirmed that this was a labeling error on their part and had no effect on the actual results, Secretary of the Commonwealth Bill Galvin's office said.

The tapes are being manually corrected by poll workers so that the vote totals on the tapes accurately reflect the vote totals for Micah Jones. But as you can imagine, this raised concerns among voters who noticed it.

Midterm elections typically have lower voter turnout compared to when the president is on the ballot, but this year it seems turnout was above average. And in one New England state, voters cast their ballots and met some famous faces.

A minor inconvenience, as opposed to an issue, but longer wait times were reported at some polling places in Lowell, Cape Cod and the North Shore.

Lowell happens to have the longest ballot at four cards, according to Deb O'Malley, spokesperson for Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin.

O'Malley said the dynamic appears to be "more of an issue when there is a rush of voters," though she noted most locations were not reporting long lines. At polling sites with lines, the slowdown was not happening at check-in tables, but rather at ballot boxes that take longer to accept multiple cards, O'Malley said.

“My office is receiving reports from clerks around the state of high voter turnout at polling places. Because of this high turnout and the unusually long ballots, we have also received some anecdotal reports of longer wait times for voters depositing their ballot in the ballot box after voting," Galvin said in a statement Tuesday. "While these longer wait times are not widespread, I ask that voters be patient if there is a line to cast their ballot. Local election officials are making every effort to expedite voters through the process. I also want to remind anyone who is voting later this evening that they will be allowed to vote as long as they are in line at their polling place at 8 p.m.”

Technology plays important roles in elections, meaning officials always have to be ready to respond to any errors or other issues like loss of power.
