ryljeter in Detroit, Michigan (via text to Armetta Parker's fone):
In line at 6 AM, finished at 7:45. One machine was not working (Precinct 16 Ward 22) people were angry because they had to slide their ballots through a slot with the statement that they would be run through another machine later.
Also one fight broke out over a pregnant lady trying to take cuts because she said she couldn't stand that long. Voters felt she should have early or absentee voted because the poll workers were trying to give her some courtesy.

What's a Twitter Patrol?
The UCP Twitter Patrol is essentially a way of turning every voter in the disability community into an effective poll monitor. After all, no one is going to look out for our rights unless we do it first.
The way it works is simple: Voters from all across the country report on accessibility conditions at their polling place via Twitter, then we post all those tweets on this blog in an easy-to-reference format.
It's just one more way that social media are changing how people with disabilities participate in society.
