The Latest: Indiana saw long lines at voting centers

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Latest on Indiana's primary election (all times local):

11:10 a.m.

Indiana's Election Division says some counties that have switched to vote centers where anyone can cast ballots experienced long lines during the primary election Tuesday.

Election Division Co-Director Angie Nussmeyer says the voting centers are designed to be convenient to voters, but said it's not convenient to have to wait in line 90 minutes to vote. She says many of the 29 counties that use voting centers are going to have to look at their plans for the general election in November.

She says in Vigo County lines were an hour-long through most of the day and the number of voters weren't unusually high.

She says counties will need to look at moving vote centers, adding vote centers or finding more voting equipment to help reduce the lines.

A southwestern Indiana county clerk says vote totals recorded on 10 voting machines not properly closed by workers after Tuesday's primary will be released Wednesday after officials review data in those machines.

Vanderburgh County Clerk and Election Board Secretary Debbie Stucki says those machines were delivered Wednesday morning to the county election office. She says a printed tally of the ballots read by the machines will be double-checked with those ballots to make sure those numbers match.

Those totals will then be posted on the county's website.

Stucki says it's unclear how many votes were recorded on the machines used Tuesday at an Evansville polling site, but they're believed to number in the hundreds.

She says the county's 390 other voting machines were properly closed Tuesday night and weren't affected.

A northern Indiana clerk says one of her employees will face discipline after about 30 people left a polling site during Tuesday's primary when they were told they likely wouldn't be able to vote.

Miami County Clerk of the Courts Tawna Leffel-Sands says the polling site at the county courthouse in Peru was about to close at 6 p.m. when the worker told some people in line they probably wouldn't be able to vote.

She says about 30 people in the line of some 130 voters walked away. Leffel-Sands says she learned what had happened and brought some of them back to vote.

She says she "sincerely apologizes" for the situation.

Leffel-Sands says the employee will face discipline because of the incident once she consults with the county's attorney.
