Election Day Problems Plague Polling Sites In New Jersey [VIDEO, PHOTOS]

Frustratingly long Election Day lines stretching blocks were seen at polling places in New Jersey for Tuesday’s presidential election as the state dealt with several issues, according to some reports and voters on Twitter.

Have you had any issues with voting? Please let us know in the comments.

Here are some of the places that have had issues:

• In Metuchen, poll workers took down a sign that appeared to tell voters they needed ID to cast their ballot. No ID is required for voting in New Jersey, but some reported that people walked away from polling places after seeing the sign.

Some took to Twitter to protest:

• In Jersey City, meanwhile, ABC New York posted photos of lines more befitting a rock concert ticket queue near the city's fire headquarters during Tuesday’s election.

A local voter posted a YouTube video of an Election Day line in Jersey City, which can be seen below.

Another local voter reported that she spent three and a half hours in line, posting a Tweet that read: “3.5 hours in Jersey City and I didn't even get a sticker.”

Election officials in Jersey City’s ninth district eventually brought in additional voting booths to help ease the congestion, an ABC7 reporter posted.

• Reports of long Election Day lines were also seen in Hoboken on Tuesday, NJ.com stated.

• In Pennsville, voters reported that machines were not working.

• The Jersey Shore Hurricane News Facebook page reported that voters without ID were being turned away at Ocean Acres school in Stafford Township.

• In Short Hills, voters were reportedly asked to use paper ballots after polling stations had mechanical malfunctions.

Multiple Patch readers sent in reports of other issues on Tuesday.

A Blackwood resident who asked not to be named told Patch that she and her husband went to their polling place in Blackwood to vote, only to be told he was now on the mail-in voting list.

"He checked and I am on there as well," the resident said. "We have zero idea as to how this happened, we have never filled anything out for that. We have went there in the past, no problem, to vote for mayors, governors, and presidents. My husband was livid and demanded to know what in the heck was going on. They made him fill out about 20 minutes of paper work, along with a mail in vote, gave him a number and told him to call in 10 days to see if his vote even counted. Looks like that is what I have to look forward to when I get out of work and go to vote. Two words, crooked and rigged. "

Other alleged issues were less about the democratic process and more about the rewards of being a voter.

"Scotch Plains isn't giving the 'I voted' stickers out, so you can't show you're proud and can't get a free appetizer at Texas Roadhouse," a voter who identified himself as "George C." reported.

Michele DeCastro of Montclair told Patch that when she went to vote at Mt. Hebron School on Lorraine Avenue, the poll workers said that her name could not be located in the registration book.

"I was told by the worker there that she noticed that pages were missing from that registration book from DAB to DEP, which included my last name," DeCastro said. "As such, I was told the only way I could vote was by provisional vote on paper, which means my vote that I am entitled to by law does not count."

But the issues didn't end there, DeCastro alleged.

"When I was led to the provisional voting area, there was no privacy and people in line behind me were looking over my shoulder," she said. "I was given information on provisional voting, which stated that my vote today will not be counted until after the election. I also read that if I filled out the provisional paperwork incorrectly, my vote would be completely rejected. This is an appalling injustice, as I am a registered voter and have done nothing wrong, but my vote today was stifled because of an error on Essex’s County’s part."

Elsewhere, nearly 20,000 ballots had to be counted by hand in Burlington County due to a printing mistake, according to published reports. The wrong markings on mail-in ballots that identify the town and voting district have lead to the hand counting of at least 19,000 ballots in the Burlington County Courthouse on Tuesday, according to the Courier Post. No specific towns were mentioned, but counting may take up to two days, and could impact the vote across the county.
