Millions of Pennsylvanians sought to exercise their right to vote on Tuesday, yet the 90% who had to use state’s voting machines were “voting blind.” Nonetheless,

Citizen activists hit the streets to watch the parts of the process that they could monitor.

In this 90-minute special edition of Voice of the Voters & American Voices , we’ll ask:

--Were voters able to vote or turned away? Why?

--Was there any indication of “Operation Chaos”?

--What was impact of the so-called “fleeing voter”?

--Were machine breakdowns common and how were they handled? Lines?
