Update: Only 6 Richland Co. Precincts Had Required Machines

Now, according to a preliminary report from USC researchers working for the League of Women Voters, we see exactly how bad the problem was. See a summary of the report HERE.

According to Page 29 of the SC Election Commission's Poll Managers Handbook, there should be one machine for every 250 registered voters in a precinct. 

But only six of the county's 124 precincts had the required number of machines. And many of machines were not working for at least part of the day.
