And possibly bad news for McCain, if we find that all that unanticipated turnout was Republican-leaning independents.

Running out of ballots?

You're the first-in-the-nation primary, you hold yourself up as the very model of American participatory democracy in action, and you don't bother to print enough ballots to handle a good turnout?

If even one precinct in New Hampshire runs out of printed ballots before voting closes, that should be the end of New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation status.
