During the primary it doesn't benefit one candidate over another, but when it comes to the general election it could.
Take Ohio in 2004 as an example. On election day there was a serious shortage of voting machines in the democrat heavy areas so people had to wait in line for hours while in most of the republican heavy areas there were plenty of machines and people were able to get in and out pretty quickly.
If a person shows up to vote and sees that they may have to wait in line 5 hours, they might just forget it and go home.
