Poll irregularities already surfacing in Philly, by Jordan Davidson.
While voter turnout appears to be high in Philadelphia, shortly after polls opened this morning, there were reports of long lines, broken polling machines, and polling place violations such as allowing campaign material and campaigning for certain candidates on-site, despite state Election Code prohibitions on electioneering at polling locations.
This is our polling place in NE Philadelphia. Already a violation in sight. @PhillyROCTeam @mikeroman @phillyvotes @Richzeoli @ChrisStigall @EddieCaiazzo @DomShow1210 pic.twitter.com/WPZ60T0L19

Poll watchers in the area were also reportedly denied access to certain polling places despite being certified to enter in any ward or division in Philadelphia. Some were even kicked out of certain locations across the city.

Oh look! A Democratic committeewoman in north Philly wearing a Biden mask not letting certified Republican poll watchers into a polling place… She ends with "that rule ain't worth being followed" when someone says they should be allowed inside. pic.twitter.com/7646fTi2in
