Ohio NAACP President Forbes predicts Election Day chaos, cites new voters
Cleveland NAACP President George Forbes said Wednesday that Cuyahoga County is so unprepared to deal with the deluge of new registered voters that it could have "utter chaos" on Election Day. Forbes said at a news conference that the county needs 500 more voting machines. He also wants to recruit hundreds of lawyers to help monitor the election and assist voters. Some of Forbes' complaints, however, may have been premature. He said during his news conference that polling places could be so overwhelmed by new voters, many of whom are concentrated in predominantly black precincts, that some will leave the polls in frustration without casting ballots. "It will be a debacle on Election Day if nothing is done," he said. But Michael Vu, Cuyahoga County's election director, said his staff is well organized and ready to handle Election Day problems.
