Ballots run out at several Mississippi county precincts
Many locations in Hinds County, Mississippi, ran out of ballots, and the Hinds County Election Commission was in the process of trying to print more ballots and deliver them as time was running out on voting Tuesday afternoon, according to Pete Perry of the Hinds County Republican Party.
As many as nine precincts have run out of ballots.
"The election commission did not print enough ballots for the precincts. That's the bottom line," Perry said. "Folks have been standing in line for hours waiting to vote and many of them have left."
Both Republicans and Democrats are discussing options for keeping polls open after the 7 p.m. deadline.
