Some of those precincts voted in different HOD districts, but the precinct in question was not supposed to be internally split. So somehow folks were given ballots for the wrong district, so the obvious solution would be to revote that precinct. The question would be whether only those that were on the books that day would be allowed or if it would be open to all in that precinct.
