Yeah, tell me that the election system isn’t broken. The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections is a minority female, probably doesn’t know what a Republican is.

quote:

A shortage of Republican ballots at several locations around Alachua County Tuesday night had some local GOP politicians claiming that voter suppression occurred.

The Supervisor of Elections Office confirmed a shortage of ballots at a Newberry and High Springs precinct, both known for heavy Republican turnout.

Elections office spokesman Aaron Klein said that staff was alerted of the issue and sent more ballots to the locations. It didn't appear to be enough, as some voters walked away without casting a ballot.

"I was informed that a clerk on duty waited until there were just two ballots left on the last pad before calling the supervisor's office for more Republican ballots," said local GOP chairman Ed Braddy.

Soon after the ballot debacle became known, the supervisor's website, VoteAlachua.gov, temporarily crashed.

This is where our system in Denton County TX works.

You go to the voting place (whether in your precinct on Election Day or anywhere in the county during early voting). You present PHOTO ID. The clerk asks which party you want, the system prints it out from blank paper.

This should never i mean Never happen. They should know how many Repub voters in that precinct from voter roles and then know they have to have x+extra ballots. The persons running that should be fired any or charged, inexcusable.

Should be fired


I agree, but they will probably get a promotion.
