Forms, ballots running out at some Milwaukee polling places

By Meg Jones of the Journal Sentinel

6:52 p.m

Poll workers at Phyllis Wheatley School, 2442 N. 20th St., reported having only 10 paper ballots shortly after 6 p.m. with many people waiting in line. The polling place had already run low on ballots earlier in the day and election officials dropped off more.

As of 6 p.m. 548 ballots were cast at Phyllis Wheatley School, more than twice as many as in previous elections, said Lois Sneed, chief elections inspector.

"The issue is there are a lot of people waiting in line to register to vote but there are no forms," said Veum. "We know that hundreds of people have not voted because there were no forms available."

According to state law, if a person is waiting in line to register and vote and it's after 8 p.m., that person can still legally fill out the form and vote, Magney said.
