Primary Day In America
This, from Sen. Lincoln Chafee's campaign: "Currently, poll watchers in North Kingstown on behalf of Steve Laffey are disrupting the election process in North Kingstown. During the election, these impartial observers have begun leaving their designated seats and interjecting themselves into the process, challenging the eligibility of voters. This has significantly delayed the voting process, and is intimidating voters. The Chafee campaign calls on Mayor Laffey to demand his poll watchers stop disrupting the election process. Violations are most egregious at the following locations: Quidnessett middle school, 166 Mark Drive , North Kingstown and
Wickford Middle School, 250 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown.
Meanwhile, GOPProgress.com's Liz Mair reports that Sen. John McCain recorded a GOTV telephone call for Chafee.
In Maryland, lots of polling places didn't open on time.
