Forms, ballots running out at some Milwaukee polling places
Registration forms and ballots are running out at some City of Milwaukee polling sites.
Poll workers at Phyllis Wheatley School, 2442 N. 20th St., reported having only about 110 paper ballots shortly after 6 p.m. with many people waiting in line. The polling place had already run low on ballots earlier in the day and election officials dropped off more.
As of 6 p.m. 548 ballots were cast at Phyllis Wheatley School, more than twice as many as in previous elections, said Lois Sneed, chief elections inspector.
Reports of ballots running out at a polling site in Sherman Park on Tuesday evening couldn't be confirmed.
Registration forms for residents signing up to vote also ran low or were gone at several wards in Milwaukee. Janet Veum, communications coordinator for Wisconsin Jobs Now, said registration forms ran out at Wards 141 and 142 at 2450 N. 6th St. Ballots and registration forms ran out at 53rd St. School, and ballots were running low at the Center St. Library.
