WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — More than 5,500 calls from US citizens reporting irregularities at voting stations sites have been received by a national telephone hotline, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Almost 50 percent of the calls have involved problems with polling sites that were not open on time," Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law Executive Director Kristen Clarke stated.
Clarke added that a group of callers from the US state of Florida expressed concerns over voter intimidation at polling sites in the city of Jacksonville and in Miami-Dade County.
Voting system problems and long waiting lines have also been reported in the states of North Carolina and Tennessee, the statement added.
