STATES (CONT)

time, some reported "widespread trouble with voting apparatuses during Tuesday's primary - machines that froze, access cards that stopped working and computerized voter lists that crashed.The glitches led to long lines at many polling places and caused some voters to worry that their ballots had not been recorded properly, if at all."
    Additionally, the organization says confusion over the strict new Voter ID law in states like Arizona, where voters are required to show up with a specific form of identification, may deter people from showing up at the polls as well as create long lines that could hinder the ability for some people to cast their ballots before polls close. Critics say the law is aimed at deterring immigrants from voting.
    In Colorado, Electionline.org says state officials started closing neighborhood polling places in favor of larger locations, possibly making it inconvenient and much more difficult for people to get out and vote.
    "The use of so-called "vote centers"- consolidated,accessible polling locations where any voter in the county can cast their appropriate ballot - continues to grow in the state," the report says. "In Denver County, home to more than 10 percent of the state's residents,over 400 precincts were closed in favor of opening 47 vote centers."
    Moreover, residents of Colorado "who first used new touch-screen voting machines this year had problems during early voting for the August primary," the report added. "The state was sued over the use of the machines and a judge ruled to allow their continued use, but criticized the state's certification process of these devices and said they will need to be recertified after this election."
