The 2018 midterms have seen a record number of early voting turnouts, and it’s looking like there will be record numbers for in-person voting on election day, as well.
But with that voter enthusiasm is coming significant issues with lines, malfunctioning scanners, and inefficient polling place resources, which have led some to claim instances of reported voter suppression.
Here are all of the photos and videos you need to see of the crazy voting conditions across the country for those simply looking to cast their ballot in the 2018.

Someone came out with an update.
“Our printer went down about an hour ago. We tried to reset but it is not working. The printer is finite. We’ve been waiting for a new for about an hour now. We were sending folks to a voting center but their printer is also down.”
Apparently only ONE MACHINE is working here in north #Greenpoint! The others broke down. Over 100 people waiting in line @BOENYC, this is ridiculous! Cc. @BPEricAdams @NYCMayorsOffice @StephenLevin33 @RepMaloney #ElectionDay
They are making an announcement that the servers at the Johnson county courthouse are not working, and there, checking in for voting has almost completely stalled. Voting machines are still functional. @WISH_TV
This line is so disheartening, that Jessie Jackson has turned up and is rallying up voters, telling them not to leave @ajc @wsbtv @cbs46 @CityofAtlanta @staceyabrams #wewillvote
Almost 2 hours to vote this morning in Fort Greene due to broken scanners, many ppl leaving w/o voting 😤 @BOENYC @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCMayor @BrianLehrer #ElectionDay
.@BOENYC polling site at 241 Emerson in Clinton Hill Brooklyn has 2 of 5 scanners down. We consistently have one of the highest turnouts in NYC. I waited over an hour to vote, as did dozens of senior citizens. Please fix!
Lines wrapped around at the polls today in the Bronx at #PS103 with only one machine working!!
MAJOR ISSUES reported at the Annistown Elementary polling location in Gwinnett County. Voters tell me the machines are down and they can only cast paper or provisional ballots.
Many have been waiting since 6am.

@_2lite @ljoywilliams We are locked out of the building at my polling site. Supposed to be open at 6 am. It is now almost 8. #VoterSuppression
