N.H. turnout 'huge,' especially Dem side (usatoday)

[ZombieHorde]

New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan has told ABC News that the voter turnout in his state today is "absolutely huge."

And, ABC's Political Radar blog reports, "there are concerns about running out of ballots in towns like Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson and Pelham."

Political Radar adds that:

According to Scanlan, the ballot strain seems to be on Democratic ballots, which suggests that the undeclared voters are breaking for the Democratic primary. New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner predicted that 90,000 undeclared voters would vote in the Democratic primary compared to 60,000 voting in the Republican primary.

Choosing between Grumpy and other other dwarves can't be a thrill.

6. Yeah, big Dem turnout. (from CNN)

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- New Hampshire's governor predicted a record turnout Tuesday for the first-in-the-nation presidential primary as candidates zigzagged across the New England state trying to influence undecided voters.

New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan said high turnout at polling stations is forcing the New Hampshire secretary of state's office to send more ballots to some polling locations, including Hampton Falls, Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson and Pelham.

In particular, the polling places were running low on Democratic ballots, Scanlan said, but no polling station had run out.
