Is Virginia the new Florida?

This is what is coming in:
In Virginia, where the NAACP (a national civil rights organization) filed a lawsuit to keep the polls open longer, we are seeing several problems. More groups are joining the call to keep the polls open two hours later tonight. There are reports of massive voting machine failures, over two dozen precincts opening late, people being turned away, and voter intimidation.
In Michigan we have received calls about malfunctioning voter machines in at least ten precincts, causing extremely long waits. Unfortunately, the waits are causing some people to give up and get out of line. We will continue to monitor the situation in Michigan throughout the day.
And in Florida, we've just received a slew of reports about broken optical scanners and extremely long lines. We also just received a call that absentee ballots were not received at a rehab center for elderly residents.
and this:
Reports growing that of twenty five polling place in Virginia appear to have voting problems. The problems appear to revolve around the Optical Scanning Machines. People were also given wet ballots in some of these polling places as well. Poll supervisors promise that they will scan them later in the afternoon. These polling sites are primarily in urban areas that service communities of color.
