My ears are on the ground here in the Chicago area, and WBBM Newsradio 78 in Chicago is reporting this morning that voting machine problems "are frazzling voters."
Chicago Board of Elections spokesman Tom Leach tells WBBM that even if the touch screen and optical scan ballots systems fail, printed ballots are available and those ballots will be counted.
In the March primary, there were a myriad of problems tabulating the vote in Cook County, the state's most populous. It took several days for all of the votes to be counted.
As I posted below, everything was fine where I voted today. Or it seemed that way.
UPDATE 12:26PM: WBBM has a story on the voting situation in Illinois up on its web site.
