An election worker said he received an error message Monday morning before the polls were opened. He quickly called for a replacement chip from DeLand.The chip was escorted by deputies to Daytona Beach and is in use right now. The ballots will be re-fed Tuesday at the supervisor's office in DeLand.About 1,400 people have voted every day. They have had some tempers flaring in the long lines. That's why they now have a deputy in Daytona Beach and Deltona.
