Ballot Shortage Crisis Hits Hinds County Polling Precincts

Several precincts across Hinds County, Mississippi, ran out of or ran low on ballots during the election, leading to long wait times and concerns about voter disenfranchisement. Members of both the Republican and Democratic Executive Committees expressed frustration and called for immediate action to address the issue. The unexpected high voter turnout and redistricting were cited as factors contributing to the shortage. Efforts were made to print and deliver additional ballots to affected precincts, but concerns remain about the impact on the election's integrity.
