Members at Cleveland VFW post 2533 reported some voter confusion during most of "Super Tuesday," both in the morning and early evening hours.

VFW member Jim Dreher told newsnet5.com about a dozen voters stopped into his post on West 150th Street asking if they could cast their ballots.

Dreher claimed some of the misguided voters had cards that instructed them to come to the VFW 2533, that the location was their polling place.

"Yes, they wanted to know where they could fold and we told them we didn't know," said Dreher.  "We told them to try the VFW on West 140. They haven't been voting here at this post for over two years now.

newsnet5.com contacted the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections about the issue, and it said it had not received any formal complaints about the confusion.

The board vowed to look in the the problem, one of the few reported issues at 390 polling place in 59 municipalities throughout the county.
