ELECTION NIGHT Summit : Ballot Shortage Issue Will Be Addressed

Per the Secretary of State's recent email, the Summit County Board of Elections requested permission to photocopy paper ballots to compensate for a ballot shortage. Permission was granted, and voting ended at 7:30pm.

This is the only major issue we've heard of today with respect to voting difficulties, a good sign and in keeping with what you'd expect in an off-off-year election. Still, this news could mean high turnout for Summit county, which impacts county issues on the ballot as well as state Issue 2 (urban areas trend away from approval).
