facebookEarlier, we noted that some voters arrived to vote in Cambridge, Massachusetts to find that their names were missing from the rolls. Officials in Cambridge, Massachusetts have reportedly fixed the problem, according to WBUR.
The problem arose because the city forgot to send all the necessary voter information to the printers of the rolls, according to Brian McNiff, of the secretary of state’s office.
"If the problem had been at the state level, we would have been able to correct it," McNiff told WBUR. "Cambridge had to correct it at their end which they have done. The new lists are printed and they have been distributed."
