SUMMARY: Stewart and his plans are the focus of the upcoming news segment. There is a ballot shortage in Hinds County, causing concern and confusion. The responsibility lies with the election commission, but they are not providing enough ballots for registered voters. Commissioner Toya McGee claims they went above and beyond, printing 70% more than needed. However, records show that only 62,000 of the 115,000 printed ballots were actually used. The commission is now trying to determine what went wrong. Commissioner Charlie Varnedoe admits they ran out of ballots at some precincts due to the high turnout. The official numbers from last night’s election are expected to be much higher than previous elections. This ballot shortage highlights potential organization and ordering issues within the commission. The focus now is on rectifying the situation and determining who is ultimately at fault.

Big questions are lingering around last night’s ballot shortage in Hinds County.
