Early voting is drawing thousands of voters to polling places across Tarrant County, including to the Como Community Center, but were some of the machines out of commission<\/a> as residents went to vote at the Fort Worth site on Tuesday?<\/p>\n The short answer: Yes, there were some machines that needed tech support at the Como voting location, at 4660 Horne St, but not for long, according to the county.<\/p>\n In a Wednesday email, the county confirmed that six machines required technician support on Tuesday. A help ticket was submitted at 8:40 a.m. and by 9:16 a.m., all but one machine was back online.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did not experience major delays because of this issue,\u201d the statement from the Tarrant County reads.<\/p>\n Technicians are always on standby during an election, according the county.<\/p>\n Eleanor Dearman<\/a><\/p>\n Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/p>\n Eleanor (Elly) Dearman is a Texas politics and government reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
