states stepping in to help out counties who are too poor to fund a decent election process, but is that the case here?
Those were apparently heavily Democratic counties that did a terrible job of making sure their voting machines were working, that didn't have backup paper ballots in case they did in fact malfunction & apparently didn't have enough staffing or competence to send out the absentee ballots in a timely fashion.
Some of that is probably just very poor management. I can't imagine that it would have cost them much more to have voting machines that actually worked, or to print sufficient numbers of paper ballots.
