Related: About this forumAmid high turnout, Michigan primary precincts run out of ballots
Polling places are busy on this primary election day in Michigan, with some locations reportedly running out of ballots.
Multiple callers at Plainfield Township precinct No. 3 -- the Ambrose Ridge Apartments -- told WZZM that Democratic ballots have run out.
There was some sort of miscommunication between the Kent County clerk's office and this particular precinct, reports WZZM's David Bailey. Democratic ballots destined for this precinct were sent to another by mistake, an official said.

that votes cannot be tabulated from a paper ballot? In Iowa caucuses merely have a plain piece of paper and you write your vote on it and hand it in.
When there is not enough ballots for all the voters that is what should be done.
