With the problem of voting machines everywhere this morning, this problem plagued Vineland and surrounding areas.

State Senator Mike Testa (R-1) is vigilant about this issue, not just in his hometown.

"Our team has been receiving reports from across Cumberland County that the voting machine is malfunctioning and the polling station is not open at the specified time," the state senator from South Jersey said in a post on his Facebook page.

"As a voter, you have the right to vote in person at the designated polling station on election day," he added. "If there is a problem with your polling station, please stay online! If you see something, say something-please report any violations to the NJGOP Election Integrity Hotline 609-288-2925, and leave detailed information about the situation. "

According to InsiderNJ, earlier this morning:

Two sources said that early on election day, the voting machine in Middlesex County froze and collapsed, causing a convulsion of democratic sentiment, to put it mildly.

There were also serious breakdowns in the suburban Pasek County, and some minor problems were reported in Essex.

It is actually happening statewide.

"There is a problem with the new [electronic voting book]," Somerset County Clerk Steve Peter confirmed.

Initially, as a developing story, at least two areas of the state reported major machine problems.

According to a source in Middlesex:

"The voting machine crashed in a town in Middlesex County. So far, I have only heard of South Plains, Old Bridge and Monroe."

Passaic also encountered problems with voting machines, especially in Hawthorne.

There are four different types of machines, but some are only used for early voting.

Two types of dominions and two types of ES&S.

Today everyone has an electronic voting book. Those were the reasons for the trouble, and by 9 o'clock in the morning, the clerk seemed to be in control.

Update-Technical support tracked and fixed the problem: a crash caused by a poll book connected to the Internet. When the Internet fails, the machine crashes.
