Long lines, a change in polling locations and voting machines forced many to wait hours before they could cast their ballot. He said the county failed to allocate voting machines properly, mismanaged and had faulty equipment. Schecter told KPRC 2 there were only 71 polling locations in precinct 1, 84 in precinct 2, 125 in precinct 3 and 120 in precinct 4. "It’s important to the Democrats to have county-wide voting so we had to agree on all the locations. The Republicans did not want to have county-wide voting and said here’s our map if you want countywide voting, you have to agree to this map,” Schecter said.
