A voter who came to the precinct at Florida Presbyterian Homes on Lake Hunter was told early this morning that there were ballots only for Democrats and Republicans, but not independents. Eventually, the voter was given a ballot for people with no party affiliation, and the Supervisor of Elections reports the poll worker was sent home.
