117 misassigned Nashville voters cast provisional ballots

Ryan Millager is one of more than 430 early voters in Nashville who received a faulty ballot with one of the wrong races.

• He was one of 117 of the affected voters to cast a new provisional ballot on Tuesday, per Davidson County Election Commission administrator Jeff Roberts.

The intrigue: Millager, who is married to Axios space reporter Miriam Kramer, tells us that friends started calling soon after the election commission published a public list of voters who were affected by the mixup.

What he's saying: Millager says he was eager to cast a special provisional ballot at the election commission office Tuesday even though it came with "a lot of inconveniences" he hoped to avoid by voting early.

• "Mistakes happen," he says. "I'm glad we have a way to correct that mistake."

Even so, he calls the experience "disheartening," especially given the relatively low early voting turnout reported in Tennessee.

• "You're already dealing with a low number, and then here we are further frustrating the process."
