I voted this morning in Stuyvesant Town and also had to vote by paper ballot (for Obama), with no privacy, because the machine for my precinct was broken. I expect Clinton to carry my Congressional district easily (unfortunately), so I think it's premature for people to suspect a Clinton conspiracy. On the other hand, I've lived here for 15 years and never before encountered a broken machine, and a woman who voted at the same time said that she's lived here for 29 years and never encountered one. The voting machine problem appears to be worsening, and NYS and NYC need to tackle it immediately or switch to paper ballots, with booths for privacy, for the November election.
