According to a Philly inquirer reporter, there was a delay in opening the satellite offices Tuesday morning due to “computer issues.”
There was reportedly a problem with the state’s voter database.
45min after the scheduled opening of Philly’s satellite election sites, they are still closed due to a prob w the state’s voter database. Voters are getting impatient.
Theresa Thomas, who was first in line: “Why am I still sitting here? … They might as well give me a job.”

Ellie Rushing with the Philly Inquirer said she spoke to a Trump campaign observer who was blocked from entering a satellite office in Overbrook unless she was there to actually register to vote.
This woman did not vote or attempt to. She wanted to be let inside the place to monitor what was going on. They told her she was not allowed unless she was there to actually register to vote, etc. so then she made her argument and left after they wouldn’t let her in.
