Long Lines Emerge In Southern California Polling Places

LOS ANGELES (CBS / AP) – Frustrations ran high at a Los Angeles polling place as voters were left waiting when ballot marking devices didn't arrive on time.

Voter Bob Corbett said he was in line well before the 7 a.m. Tuesday opening at Delano Recreation Center in Van Nuys, but was told voting would be delayed.

The line snaked around the building until the devices arrived around 9 a.m., when voting finally began.

Corbett said he was frustrated but would wait however long it took to cast his ballot.

Elections officials didn't immediately say what caused the delay.

Long lines were reported at polling places across Los Angeles County. The county's 4,523 polls will close at 8 p.m.
