The voting horror show that took place earlier this week is being addressed...supposedly

We'll wait to see how the next elections go before we start patting people on the backs for simply doing their jobs.

Calling polling place issues "egregious", Board of Elections Clerk Michael Harper said there would be changes implemented before the next election. Reports of surly poll workers who were actually hesitant to hand out provisional ballots, poll workers and voters who were confused about where voters should go as well as poll workers sending voters to the wrong polling pace were plentiful. Mr. Harper, before the election reminded voters via the Jersey Journal to go to their regular polling places and if there was an issue to get and use a provisional ballot. The same provisional ballots that weren't being given out by poll workers in what some described as 'malice'.

We have an idea why that might happen but no proof so here's hoping the Hudson County Board of Elections gets their act together before May 2013.
