Just talked to Daniel from Daniel news on the phone. In San Felipe lines are also very big and very slow in a polling station where there has never been lines historically. He will not update for a while, until he votes!!

Well, have now been here four hours. The school where Ivote has two stations, with one fingerprint machine each and three voting machines each. Have seen people arrive in ambulances, wheelchairs and walkers, pretty impressive. The older people are the more belligerent with how slow the process is. At first sight not too many young people, but the special line for older people has about one hundred people in it.

Two hours in line and not even close, at least 450 people ahead of me. There are lots of problems, from people who are in the lists outside but not inside to people that vote one way and the printed ballot says the opposite. These people are told to not drop the ballot in the box, but the paper ballots will only be used in the audit so there are going to be many inconsistencies. Reports in the line and that 90 percent of poll centers have opened.

It took me 55 minutes to check on which machine vote, now am in the line to vote, counted 650 people in line. Older people are taken to the front of th line. So far, the process looks too slow, previous elections at this time it would be moving faster.
