Polling sites out of paper ballots (South Carolina)
Polling sites out of paper ballots
Several people have called The Sun News this morning to complain that they were not able to vote this morning because paper ballots were not available when the electronic voting machines malfunctioned.

Marie VanMeter of Surfside Beach was told when she went to her polling station at Lakewood Elementary School, ''They said they were out of ballots and none of the machines were working in Surfside. They had everyone write down their phone number and that they would call us when we could vote.''

She added, ''What an injustice to those candidates.''

Several other people have called to say that polling stations in Surfside Beach were out of paper ballots.

1. Throw the machines in a lake and print enough ballots for everyone.

4. This is unbelievable and unacceptable. There is absolutely
no excuse for not at least having backup paper ballots ready. This is either a case of stupidity, laziness or fraud.

7. Well, that was the obvious choice in the 2004 general election.

5. This is a Republican primary isn't it?
They love them some electronic machines. Hopefully, they'll have paper ballots for the Dem primary.
