Voters in Flint and several other Genesee County communities were improperly turned away from the polls Tuesday after their local precincts ran out of Democratic primary ballots, according to the county clerk.
“They called our office and we told them to get back in there and get back in line and don’t leave,” County Clerk John Gleason said Wednesday. “One voter told us there was a two-hour wait while they were getting new ballots.
“There’s an indication that voters may have gotten impatient. There’s no way to quantify the statement but I’m sure people got mad and left.”
