1. another example of 3rd world style elections we have in the worlds leading demicracy

2. MSNBC says they're printing more and rushing them there.

What a bunch of bull.

[Scuba]

3. I'll bet there's plenty of ballots in Waukesha, Port Washington and Appleton.

No lines either.

[PeaceNikki]

4. huge lines in deep red Waukesha County.

People are still in line. And we've run out of ballots.

[Scuba]

5. Interesting. Why do you suppose that is?

[PeaceNikki]

7. Because Republicans vote. In droves. It's been like that the whole 12 years I've been voting here.

The Waukesha County Republican Party wins national awards for turnout. They vote.

11. But it must be bigger numbers than in the past. I never had to wait in line when I lived there....

... and I don't ever recall the County running out of ballots, although it's not something I've tracked.

Was the R turnout that much larger than historical turnouts? It's not like they stayed home last time.

[PeaceNikki]

13. They ran out for the recall.

I don't have the data to answer your other questions.

[Scuba]

14. Not to worry. Kathy Nickolas probably has some "extras" somewhere.

[City Lights]

12. My daughter voted in Appleton and they didn't have enough

ballots at her polling place and had to get more.

6. I hope that the Boss stuck around WI....I think Madison is only an hour and a half from Racine....

I blame Scott Walker......

8. Are you serious?

It figures that they would short Racine, with its large minority population. Fucking bastards.

[TroglodyteScholar]

10. We're here to offset Waukesha

[TroglodyteScholar]

9. Not officially

"Deuster (assistant city clerk) disputed that polling sites ran out of ballots. She said poll workes called in before they ran out, so ballots could be replenished in time."

There were plenty of ballots here when I voted on Thursday
