Verifiedvoting.org has some excellent coverage of the problems. I like their position on the recent election. They also have a useful geographic database of 1-866-OUR-VOTE calls available here; it contains nearly 34,000 incidents. Scanning the national database quickly, I note that the largest category of reported problems (21%) were registration-related, unsurprising to me. I remind everyone yet again that the registration system is the biggest barrier to voting.

Here is shows a color-coded map of reported long-line problems; they were most common in Ohio, Florida, and Georgia, far outstripping the numbers of reports of similar problems in the more populous states of New York and California.

State	Pop.	Reported long-line problems	per 1,000,000 population
California	35M	11	0.31
New York	19M	35	1.84
Florida	17M	162	9.53
Ohio	11M	275	25.0
Georgia	8.7M	103	11.8

One may, I think, reasonably assume that there were many more people affected than called in reports to 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

So...yes, it could have affected the outcome of the election. This isn't proof--far from it. But suspicious? Yes. I note again that this is good old fashioned keep-in-the-vote election manipulation.
