[Original 9 a.m.] Voting has started today, and some of us have had an easy time of it.
I voted – 68th in my precinct, around 8 am. #PHLvotes A video posted by Joel Mathis (@joelmmathis) on
…and others haven’t. Liz Spikol texts us from the field, where she was attempting to vote in Mount Airy:
I’m trying to vote. Went to one polling station and they say I don’t exist. Now I’m on my way to another one. Already lodged a complaint with Seventy about my polling place, which had no way to enter without ringing a doorbell
We’ll update Liz’s status as more info becomes available:
Meanwhile, shenanigans:
Reports of contractor's truck (N Abbonizio & Sons) blocking access to polls at 16-1/16-2. He's recalcitrant. Order being issued. #PHLvotes

Here's that order. #phlvotes pic.twitter.com/2zsf3IZaWv

And shenanigans of a different sort:

We’ll be updating throughout the day.
