RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An accidentally severed fiber optic cable that shut down Virginia’s online voter registration system for several hours Tuesday, the last day to register before the November general election, has prompted a lawsuit from a civil rights organization.
The Virginia Department of Elections said in a statement on Twitter that a “fiber cut” affected connectivity for multiple agencies, including the department’s citizen portal and registrar’s offices. The cable was inadvertently cut during a Chesterfield County roadside utilities project, according to the state’s information technology agency.
Six hours later, the Department of Elections issued a statement saying the portal was back online. But the fallout led to concerns that voters were being disenfranchised at a crucial moment.
Voting advocates said the accident couldn’t have come at a worse time and lambasted state officials for the technological failure. The day of the deadline is when many Virginians decide to register, particularly after being reminded on social media and in the news. more
“Accidental.”
example of how easy it is for ‘government’ to manipulate the vote
we are now a Banana Republic & this is just the beginning …. from manipulation & acquiescence of the press to blatant voter fraud, we are just a few steps away from Venezuela … expect food shortages in the near future
Google, Amazon, Fakebook, the demedia, entertainment & sports, & their Chinese Masters are pushing very hard to turn this country … they’ve already turned the Euro-whores
this won’t end pretty … Ammo up! (btw, you think ammo shortages at this precise time are just a coincidence? … think again)
The old ‘cable cut’ story.
Sounds like Epstein’s murder.
I thought the saying was you can’t tell the shit from the shinola.
Oh.
Now I get it.
I see what you did there.
Gee, I guess those stupid dems hadn’t figured on technology failures in their quest to make it super easy for the lofos to vote.
I’m supposed to feel bad when people wait until literally the last possible second to register to vote and some unanticipated technical glitch comes up that makes it impossible to do for SIX WHOLE HOURS before being restored prior to the end of the business day?!?
Every time I have moved to a new address, registering to vote was one of the first-week priorities! Unless those ‘disenfranchised’ citizens moved into their new home THAT DAY, they can go STFU!
