Hundreds of Penn State voters were being entertained by a group of various a cappella singing groups today while they waited to cast their ballots at the HUB-Robeson Center.

The line stretched out of Alumni Hall and coiled around a corner.

"This is awesome -- absolutely awesome turnout," said Judy Vicary, a judge of elections in Alumni Hall in the HUB. She added she is so proud of Penn State students for registering to vote, standing in long lines and being such good sports about it.

Though specific numbers were unavailable, Vicary said, voter turnout is far greater than anything she has ever seen before.

Voters exiting the polls at the United Methodist Church, 109 McAllister St., are reporting waiting in line for up to two hours. Those waits are being at least partially attributed to problems with the optical scan voting machines.

The machines worked well for about two hours, said Donna Brooks, a judge of elections. Then, the machine began refusing to accept a ballot every once and a while and eventually began acting up much more frequently, Brooks added.

However, this does not prevent voters from casting their ballot, Centre County Commissioner Jon Eich said. It just prevents the machine from informing the voter as to whether they may have overvoted or undervoted, he said.
