Summit County Board of Elections Director Marijean Donofrio says they didn't think so many people would cast ballots in an off year.
"Little did we know that possibly Issue 3 or everything else, the local issues and everything else would generate the turnout. I think the weather had a lot to do with it" says Donofrio.
LISTEN to Marijean DonofrioBooth workers, she says, got bombarded at around 4:00 p.m. and started requesting more ballots. Donofrio says they just couldn't keep up. The ballot on demand printers have been churning for hours.
She says it took a half and hour to print 100 ballots so it took a while to finish the job.
Tallmadge, Twinsburg, Northfield Center Township, Norton, Green and New Franklin all called for more.
As for absentee ballots, Donofrio says the board received 16, 693.
