BALTIMORE, Md. -- After delays and glitches marred Tuesday’s primary election and kept many polling places open an extra hour, Maryland state and local officials are making no excuses, and they’re vowing to have the problems fixed by November.

In Baltimore City, where polling places opened hours late, voting machines were down, and some voters were turned away. Election Director Gene Raynor blamed the errors on a brand new electronic system and not enough training for staff members.

Raynor said "there was a new voting system coming into place and we should have concentrated a little more on the training. I don't think it's fair to point fingers at the state or the city."

Raynor also admitted 30 judges didn’t show up to the polls.

In Montgomery County, authorities said human error was the main reason for the problems.

Someone forgot to include access cards with the county's touch-screen voting machines. The error took hours to fix.

The state board of elections oversees the entire process and each county's board.

The Attorney General's office is working with the city board of elections to resolve the matter.

Attorney General Joe Curran wanted no excuses. He called for an audit to improve the system by November.

As for the judges who didn’t show up, Curran said there could be criminal charges filed for willful neglect of duty. The penalty – up to a $1,000 fine and three years in jail.

This afternoon, a meeting was held to find solutions to the lack of Republican poll judges.

Curran said, "I want everyone who shows up at 7 a.m. to be able to walk in and vote and be able to vote, and I don't want to hear that no one showed up. If they don't want to show up, we'll find someone who will.”

Curran said his office might also send letters to local colleges, universities and the Republican Party to encourage recruitment.

In the meantime, Gov. Robert Ehrlich is asking voters to call his office with complaints. He promised all of them would be forwarded to the state elections administrator.
