Long May 2 primary tests Lorain County ballots
The Lorain County Board of Elections warns the May 2 primary will cost about 21,000 more and require 624 extra ballot clerks plus a standby tally crew due to 190 presidential delegate names on the paper ballot. Printing 43,100 ballots at 6,364 adds to the burden as voters face multi‑ballot marks and complex rules to allocate 38 votes across delegates and alternates. Structured ballots and machine separation aim to protect secrecy while delaying results.
