DALLAS — Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price says he's "hot" after learning that hundreds of voters might not have known where to cast their ballot in the November 3 elections.

The problem? The contractor in charge of printing mailers about polling place changes never got the job done.

"This isn't about cost-cutting measures," Price said. "This is about a vendor who gave three different excuses about whether or not he delivered on his contract."

Price said those excuses included:

  • the regular staffer was on maternity leave
  • a computer disc went missing
  • the contractor ran out of printing paper

Price assures voters he will look into the matter.
