Mattapan, Roxbury & Hyde Park run out of ballots
I can see it now: this post will undoubtedly be seen as sour grapes on the part of the losing party. But hear me out - one of the major lefty blogs here in MA had a post & link to a Globe story about polling places in Boston running out of ballots. Huh?!?!
How does this happen when you have a known number of voters on the list? Either 1) not enough were printed, 2) there were way too many spoiled ballots or 3) some ballots were used...inappropriately. As to #1, I'm guessing the state has a formula for how many ballots they print - presumably a percent above the number of voters on the list, so as to account for things like #2. So where does that leave us?!?!

Looks like my suspicions were misplaced. It seems enough ballots were printed, but only half were delivered to the polling locations. Neither 1, 2 or 3. What's that old saying: "Good enough for government work?"
