Very detailed Lemmy post I wrote about this fuckery and more

Local news article containing the quote about the voter registrar

On Homer Plessey Way, board member Daniel Milojevic stood outside the Bywater polling place in the Press Street Gallery suggesting people try the two Jefferson Parish locations.

He said the local registrar of voters gave the district only 300 ballots per location and told them they could expect about 20 people.

“We had to confirm the number of ballots weeks ago,” he said, before it was clear how high the turnout would be. Milojevic conceded that planning had clearly missed the mark.

As one astute gentleman asked while defending Reddit, and accusing me of spreading misinformation:

If hardly anybody knew, how did turnout exceed expectations within 2 hours?

Because the "expectation" provided by the registrar was literally 20 voters per location (60 voters in total) for the entire fucking city.

Electronic voting is not safe, print and cut more paper!

In NY we have these amazing devices, where they can adhere a chemical to blank ballots before voters mark them to be scanned.

It's a fairly obscure tech, kind of like an additive manufacturing rig that, instead of adding one plane at a time to build a 3D physical thing from the bottom up, uses small rows of line segments to create a two-dimensional image. These "printers" used to be widespread, but still do have enough niche uses that the government was able to acquire some fairly easily.

It's also going to make that lawsuit in New Paltz very interesting.
