770 said more ballots being printed/delivered. Still, damage done.
Enough is not quite enough
When U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson showed up at the Church of the Good Shepherd off Tramway Boulevard Northeast to encourage voters in the heavily Republican district to vote, she encountered a stream of voters saying they didn't have a chance.
Precinct 603 had run out of ballots. In a district with more than 2,000 registered voters, Precinct 603 had received 150 paper ballots, said precinct worker Linda Ransom.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. and it quickly became obvious there weren't enough ballots, Ransom said. By 8 a.m., poll workers had called Bernalillo County requesting more. By 9 a.m. the precinct was out.
Beyond the area in which electioneering is prohibited, Wilson workers took the names of voters who had been turned away. A representative of Wilson's challenger, Democratic Attorney General Patricia Madrid, stood nearby.
Additional ballots arrived shortly before 10 a.m. and voting resumed, but Wilson called a news conference for 10:30 to discuss the matter.
