Fox News reported that paper ballot shortages on Election Day Tuesday sparked a scramble at polling places in several states. According to the Fox News report on paper ballot shortages, the shortages occurred in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland.
The Fox News headline describes the shortages as the cause of the scramble, while the summary describes the shortages themselves and does not detail how the scramble unfolded.
Fox News also reported that one voter said the disruption feels like "voter suppression." The summary does not identify that voter or say which polling place the voter visited, and it does not include comments from election officials about the shortages.
The headline refers to several states, while the summary names three. The full text of the report was not available for this story, so any additional locations are not described here.
ABC News separately published a report on gas prices on Election Day. Its ABC News report on gas prices in key states summarizes that fuel prices vary across the states expected to determine control of the Senate.
The ABC News summary does not name those states or give specific price figures, so the differences in fuel prices cannot be measured from the summary alone.
The two reports address separate subjects. Neither summary includes statements from fuel industry representatives, state or local election officials, or other sources explaining the conditions described, and neither gives a count of affected polling places or a range of prices.
