Democratic Councilman Bobby Henon told CBS3 he had to console two young women crying at the local Boys Club after the individuals shoved cameras in people's faces and said a sign on the wall was illegal.

Henon was indicted in January 2019 -- as were other members of the IBEW Local 98 -- for embezzlement and theft in a federal corruption probe.

Meanwhile, voting machines were not delivered to the Solis Cohen Elementary School until 9 a.m., more than two hours after polling places were supposed to open, CBS reports.

One polling place opened late because workers didn't have the right key for supplies.
