Update from UCP

So I'm hearing a pretty good mix of things from up here at 1660 L Street (UCP National Office). Many of the personal reports we've received have been good news. Lots of people are getting in and out of their polling places quickly and with relative ease. On the other hand, we have gotten some negative feedback (look under the "thumbs down" tag) like the KaraSwims post I mentioned earlier.

Election Protection is fairly emphatic that Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia are headed for trouble. Disaboom has also mentioned Arizona, Minnesota, and Missouri. We can see evidence of problems in most of those states in our own posts, but not Virginia. I don't think anyone who's reported to us has had any problems in Virginia yet. But we're certainly keeping our eye on it.

For their part, CNN says they've received the most calls to their Hotline (1-877-GOCNN-08) from Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, New York, DC, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The top three types of problems: Registration, Mechanical, and Access.
