ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —

At least two Orange County polling locations ran out of GOP primary election ballots, voters reported Tuesday.

The Errol Estate polling location in Apopka ran out of ballots at about 9:30 a.m., but was later restocked, Orange County Elections Supervisor Bill Cowels said.

The Word of Life Church, also in Apopka, ran out and frustrated voters worried they would not have time to vote later if the problem wasn’t resolved quickly.

Some people are getting frustrated and must come back later. They said they had to get to work.

And let’s hope our media friends don’t forget the time zone change in the western Fl. panhandle like they did a few years back.

You would think after watching all the other states deal with this, they’d have more ballots. The people running these things are as stupid as can be.

My nephew just emailed me from Jax. He said he voted and it was steady the whole time he was there. 10 would come in then go out and about 10 more would come in. Everybody he has talked to voted for Trump.

1. That’s one reason I like, and do, early voting (available a couple weeks prior in GA). Make sure nothing goes wrong, and have time to recover if it does.

2. I’m increasingly living the mantra “do my part” insofar as ensuring I’ve done everything I should regardless of others’ participation; the elections dept should do the same by making sure there are enough ballots for EVERYONE registered, regardless of whether they show up.

Elections and healthcare, two seemingly predictable events which can be planned for based on pre-registrants being the participants.

Need I say more?
