Officials in Indiana are reporting a few minor problems as voters turn out to choose between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton in the drawn-out Democratic race.
One clerk said Democratic ballots had not been delivered to two Indianapolis locations, but voters did have the option of using touch-screen machines at both sites. Two polling locations did not open on time because inspectors were late in arriving. Both of them are open now.
Many voters already were in line when polls opened this morning, and officials are expecting heavy turnout throughout the day.
A Democratic ward chairman in Indianapolis says his polling station could see a 55 percent turnout, compared with to the 8 to 10 percent turnout that is typical for the primary.
Marion County Clerk Beth White said many voters already were in line when polls opened at 6 a.m., Indianapolis television station WRTV reported.
"We really do feel today is going to be a heavy voting day, and our inspectors are ready," said White, the clerk in Indiana's most populous county.
There were lines at Hinkle Fieldhouse, on the Butler University campus, as voters attempted to cast their ballots before going to work.

You can expect her to win Indiana, and Obama’s exit polling will be higher than the actual vote count. It seems that every state where there are voting machine problems or ballots not being delivered, she wins that state. The states where Obama has won, the voting mechanics seem to work just fine. No wonder she’s complaining about the caucuses. She can’t rig those.
I’m still hoping for the Battle of Denver to be fought on live television.
They are using grade school students?
Funny this was on the news this morning even before the polls opened. They had extra poll workers on call in case there was any problem. These problems only happen in the intercity areas.
Yup, If it wasn’t for the Mainstream Media, Voting Machines, and Rush she couldn’t win ‘Dog Catcher’! :-)

Ghosts in Gary having to rush around to get picture ID before the polls close?
