Few voting problems emerge, even in Ohio

Save for bad weather in troublesome Ohio, voting appeared to run smoothly in four state primaries that could decide whether Hillary Rodham Clinton abandons her quest to be the first female president.

Heavy rain, sleet and ice forced at least 10 precincts to request permission to move, and a few polling spots were running on generators because of power outages.

An ice storm struck Cleveland during rush hour, prompting non-profit groups to stop roving election monitors. "It is treacherous out there now. It's just too dangerous for them to drive around," said Candice Hoke, director of Cleveland State University's Center for Election Integrity.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner asked a judge to hold open the polls in Sandusky County until 9 p.m., to allow voters more time to get to the polls under freezing rain. Ballots ran out earlier in the day, forcing election workers to turn away 300 to 400 people. And a reprinting glitch delayed delivery of new ballots.
