Mississippi: They've run out of ballots in 9 districts in predominantly black areas [View all]
But I'm sure it was just an innocent mistake 
At least 9 precincts in Hinds County—Mississippi's most populous county and the home of the 83%-Black capital city of Jackson—have run out of ballots in the statewide election.
The polls are set to close at 7 p.m., but court orders could keep them open.

BREAKING At least 9 Hinds county precincts have run out of ballots, according to the clerk. Election officials are now scrambling to quickly print new ballots and rush them out to the polling places. It could be a long night this Election Day.
I wonder how a county that has a 93% black population could run out of ballots? It's almost like they wanted to suppress the vote of the black community.
