Election Day lines should move faster

Franklin County voters should see shorter lines on Tuesday than in the 2004 presidential election, when some waited five hours in the rain.
But less-extreme waits in the central city could come at the expense of some suburban voters. Their polling places will get a smaller share of electronic touch-screen machines based on a new distribution plan that considers ballot length.
There will be more machines overall than in 2004. The board has gone on a buying spree — nearly doubling the number of machines.
