Tornadoes and severe storms in the South caused some polls to close early and disrupted voting in some states on Super Tuesday.

In Tennessee, at least four counties closed their polls early because of a severe storm front moving into the state Tuesday afternoon that brought damaging winds, hail and tornadoes.

The State Election Commission said it closed some precincts in McNairy, Tipton and Fayette counties to protect the safety of election workers.

Jane Heathcott, administrator of elections for Dyer County in northwestern Tennessee confirmed that all of its 16 precincts were shuttered at 6 p.m. The precincts were almost completely empty when the doors closed, Heathcott said, and voters still were able to vote at the election commission headquarters in Dyersburg.

But at least one voter who was turned away did not cast her vote. Stacy Williams from Dyersburg said that when she and her husband showed up at about 6:30 p.m., election officials told them the polls were closed due to bad weather.

"At the time, it was not even raining - we were stripped of our right to vote on a prediction of inclement weather," she told FOX News in an email.

In Arkansas, tornadoes touched down, causing three deaths, several injuries, property damage and widespread power outages.

Natasha Naragon, a spokeswoman with the Secretary of State's Office, said polling sites in Gassville and Conway County had to close because of concerns over severe weather. One polling site in Atkins continued functioning even as it served as a Red Cross shelter, Naragon said.

At one point, the lights at Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's operation center in Little Rock dimmed once and went completely out. Some people are concerned the outages could significantly delay returns statewide, election officials told FOX News.
