PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — It’s impossible to determine the one culprit that led to the long lines at polling places on Election Day in 2012, because there were many.

Unusually high voter turnout, malfunctioning voting equipment and the lack of extra voting machines, voters whose names did not properly appear on voter roll books, voting precincts that have too many residents and are too crowded, and too many problems during the voter check in process at the polls, led to long lines. Some polls closed about 11 p.m., according to a final report from the bipartisan Prince William County Election Task Force.
