Multiple callers at Plainfield Township precinct No. 3 -- the Ambrose Ridge Apartments -- told WZZM that Democratic ballots have run out.
There was some sort of miscommunication between the Kent County clerk's office and this particular precinct, reports WZZM's David Bailey. Democratic ballots destined for this precinct were sent to another by mistake, an official said.
They were without ballots for about two hours, and people were turned away.

how pathetic is that? Our elections are so screwed up and non-transparent that they are worse than those in third-world countries.

He's not entirely disengaged from the process, I think? Although he is an outsider president, which is a good thing.
