Several voters, saying they had difficulty casting their ballots, blamed the machines for the long lines. State election officials pushed back on that, blaming the problems on inexperienced election workers and coronavirus-related safety issues.
State election officials have blamed inexperienced election workers for the problems as well as safety issues related to the coronavirus, including the heightened use of absentee ballots, and have pushed back on suggestions that malfunctioning equipment is causing delays.

"Raffensperger has repeatedly said that the pandemic was going to slow down the voting process, noting that in addition to delays due to social distancing and disinfecting practices, the state has fewer poll workers to man precincts due to concerns over the pandemic. "With our health protocols, we are guaranteed to see lines tomorrow. That is why I have spent so much time trying to get voters to vote absentee," Raffensperger said Monday.
