WASHINGTON -- A report released by civil rights group the Advancement Project says Pennsylvania polling places may see lines out the door Nov. 4.

"In Pennsylvania, we're very concerned that this year because of the turnout and the excitement around the election that elections officials are not going to be prepared for the number of voters who are going to turn out," said Judith Browne-Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project. "We're concerned about whether they'll have paper ballots available to people. Can they vote by a paper ballot instead of waiting in these long lines?"

Browne-Dianis said the fact that Pennsylvania does not have early voting means polling locations are going to be swamped on Nov. 4. She's also concerned about voting machine breakdowns in Philadelphia and slow scroll screens in Pittsburgh. Alleghany and Cambria counties are among 20 in the state that use the ES &S iVotronic machines.

The report used data from 28 local election offices and said some precincts in six battleground states could be overwhelmed, including Virginia, Pennyslvania, Ohio, Missouri, Florida and Michigan. The report notes that many counties base allocations based on past turnout, rather than current registration and future projections.

Rebecca Halton, spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of State, said registration numbers are huge this year. As of this week's deadline, somewhere between 8.3 million and 8.6 million voters were registered in Pennsylvania. She said it's anybody's guess how many will turn out for Election Day and it's up to every county to be ready.
