Complicated election administration
In Indiana, elections take 30,000 people to run 5500 precincts. County clerks and poll workers must deal with multiple ballot variations.
"In Tippecanoe County, the Town of Battleground, population 1,323, is split between two house districts. District 26 represents some residents of Battleground; District 41 represents the rest. This leads to phone calls from residents who are bewildered when the neighbor across the street got a different ballot than they did." - Linda Phillips, Clerk of the Tippecanoe County Circuit Court.
