I mean, who knew you need ballots on election day? And they didn't learn that lesson from the previous election, to make sure they had enough next time?
It's kind of funny, that they had enough ballots in the conservative precincts, so those all closed on time.
i think election cheating is awful. But unlike you, I think it's awful when either side does it.
Despite the claims here that the GOP is essentially dead, it controls a decent majority of state governments. So they get to draw the lines.

Swing and a miss:
Had nothing to do with cheating - more incompetence on the local officials running the election.
And the amount of votes that were cast due to the error had no impact on the race.
