Bridgeport Didn't Order Enough Ballots Because Unused Ones 'Cost A Lot Of Money'

How much do lawsuits cost?
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — The Democratic registrar of voters in Connecticut's largest city says her office didn't order enough ballots for Tuesday's election in part because of the cost.
Sandi Ayala told The Associated Press on Wednesday that past assumptions of a 65 percent voter turnout in Bridgeport had led to many unused ballots and, "They cost a lot of money."
Ayala could not say how many ballots were ordered. Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz (BY'-suh-wits) says 21,000 ballots were ordered for the city's 69,000 registered voters.
Voter suppression in Bridgeport that you would never see in Greenwich.
Republican candidates were hoping they would not count all the votes or keep the polling locations open later. Too bad. They did and Democrats swept.

Typical incompetence by a Democratic Secretary of State, Democratic Mayor, and Democratic Elections Clerk equals Republican vote suppression of minority voters, right.
