Virginia Voter Registration Site Experiences Outage On Final Day To Register
Virginia election officials said the problem, which was caused by a severed fiber optic line, was fixed after nearly six hours. Several politicians called for the deadline to be extend.
A severed fiber optic line cable forced Virginia's online voter registration system to shut down for much of Tuesday, the last day for residents of the commonwealth to register for next month's general election.
The Virginia Department of Elections announced the issue on social media shortly before 10 a.m. local time. was resolved, nearly six hours after it began.
