From the sounds of it they were just the ballots that had only the Special Senate election (Markey v. Lynch) and were lacking the appropriate District election. Basically what you filled out if you were anywhere else but that district and registered 'D.'

I'm not sure which specific precincts were impacted, but I voted in Ward 7, Precinct 5 (in the community room at 185 W 9th) around 8:45, and my ballot was fine.

I voted at around 7:30 this morning though.

I thought 7-3 was in the South End?
