I would be interested in hearing about any voting problems that occured this past Tuesday. I saw articles about problems up in the Triangle concerning voters being given the wrong ballots, were these paper or machine ballots? Did this happen other places?

what I heard was...
... that the problems were caused when voters were incorrectly given the special ballot printed up for 17-year olds (allowed to vote in the primary on all but Amendment One, so long as they will be 18 years of age by election day next November). This ballot version did not have Amendment One on them. Pollworkers incorrectly gave them out to some voters. It wasn't a huge number of people though. This is a good link to more info:
