Hundreds Get Wrong Ballots In Central Florida

[Spangle]

Hundreds of voters in two Central Florida counties were apparently given the wrong ballots Tuesday, according to a Local 6 News report.

We have just learned that voters at Precinct 218 ( in Volusia County) were given the wrong ballots," Local 6's Tarik Minor said. "This may be a serious problem but election officials here in Deland do not know the full extent of the problem."

The problem came to light when a woman wanted to vote for state Rep. Joyce Cusack and state Rep. Ronald Cahen but noticed they were not on the ballot. Officials then noticed that she had the wrong ballots for her district.

Also, Osceola County experienced similar problems Tuesday, according to the Local 6 News report.

People who voted between 7 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. were given Precinct 30 ballots instead of the correct Precinct 29 ballot.

2. Volusia. Of course.

Wouldn't have been an election day without it.

3. No big surprise there.

We can always count on Volusia to let the voters down.

4. We need to start taking action against election officials for shit like this.

There is NO EXCUSE for a mistake of this kind. The official in each precinct should be REQUIRED to check the ballots for accuracy LONG BEFORE anyone arrives to vote! :grr:

7. Correct.

Everyone responsible should be removed from their position.

6. Just incredible.

9. Why is so friggin' difficult

for these people who run elections to do their job competently? Is this a lot to ask a Supervisor of Elections?
