HONOLULU -- Hawaii elections officials said there were no major problems reported at precincts across the state on Tuesday.

At Kaala Elementary School in Wahiawa, there was a steady stream of midday voters. An electronic voting machine malfunctioned briefly, but that problem was quickly fixed.

"It's pretty heavy today, especially this morning because maybe they come to vote before they go to work," Kaala Elementary School precinct captain Gloria Academia said.

In town, at Kawananakoa Middle School, nearly all the voting booths were full, but there was not much of a wait. It was a different story in the morning.

"We had a pretty heavy surge at the opening at 7 a.m. for about the next 45 minutes to an hour, maybe 100 voters or so, or a few more," Kawananakoa Elementary School precinct captain David Webber said.

At Waipahu High School, an electronic ballot-scanning machine, which collects the ballots, refused to work when the polls opened.

That meant about a hundred people had to redo their voting using the electronic voting machine.

"People were still coming, but there was a lot of frustration in the air. People were snapping at us, telling us, 'Why is it broken?'" Waipahu High School election worker Stanton Souza said.

Election workers delivered a new machine at about 9:30 a.m. By lunchtime, the new machine was performing smoothly with no problem.

"Because of the heavy load that they're getting in election central, it's taking sometimes, several minutes, maybe five minutes or so for them to answer the phone," Webber said.
