During the recent election, the ballot shortages were a significant issue across several precincts in Boston, prompting councilors to consider state intervention.
Councilors Ed Flynn and Erin Murphy emphasized the unpreparedness of the Election Department considering the high voter turnout during presidential elections, labeling the situation unacceptable.
Councilor Julia Mejia cautioned against an abrupt move to receivership, suggesting that it might not address the underlying issues effectively.
Despite concerns, council members ultimately did not recommend state receivership, believing it could complicate necessary reforms rather than facilitate them.
