I got to West View Towers - in the Plaza - to vote - @ 7:20 am today. A woman yelled at me - told me they were "closed" and to "go away". I knocked again & asked: "is this the voting area?" She said "we're closed! until the judge gets here!" and slammed the door. I could not believe it... If you know the phone # to that polling place - can I please have it - I need to find out who that judge is & ask them why they were late & report them- did they not know today was election day? Remember this happened at the other polling site in West View in 2010? Who are these moron judges? I gotta tell Marty Griffin...

Hey, Jen, I heard you this morning on Marty's show. I cannot believe any judge worth his salt would be late to open a polling place. That is appalling, and this situation should to be brought to the public's attention. We need to know who that judge is!

Jen, must be something in the water because the "nice" women at #3 Engine House this morning were just as "cheery!"

Right, ladies ! - if they don't want to do it - they should step aside, Lynn... Marty was howling, huh, Carol? - he could not believe it, either... I hope I was using my best Pittsburghese for him. Seriously: I just watched a story on KD news about this - and they showed a glimpse of the judge. I voted @ 5:30 pm and spoke to her & got her name. I will be following thru w/this, if I can find the proper person to complain to. Her excuses to me fell on deaf ears - she knew about the importance of this day for a long time... take care guys Jen

Given that voter turnout is not what it should be, the poll not opening in time could determine whether a person was able to vote or not. What is upsetting is that I believe these election judges get paid for their services. I am not sure where that funding comes from, but I assume it is from the taxpayer - read: me.
