JACKSON — If you see poll problems today, please report them here, on the Jackson Free Press Facebook pages or tweet us @jxnfreepress. You can also email [email protected]. Our reporters are out checking on problems, and we really appreciate citizens' help!
So far, we've heard that there are/were problems at Callaway High School. Also that Ward 7 precinct 97 Shriner's hall has no voting machines -- exit 88 I-55 south. There were reportedly using paper ballots and putting them in a manila folder.
