In District 59, at least 4-5 precincts ran out of ballots. There were long lines of
people kept waiting for more than an hour (in some cases) with some leaving. In
addition one precinct had a broken ballot reader and everything stopped until that was
replaced. The results with a 91% turnout (of registered voters, not eligible voters)
obviously wouldn't have changed, but this is a disgraceful situation and someone's
head should role. The expense of printing more ballots than anticipated should be a
necessary cost of democracy. Anyone know who makes these number decisions and were
there any other places with this problem?
