Volunteer Poll Worker Gets Wrong Absentee Ballot

[Jokerman]

NOTE: This is the same ballot mix up I posted a warning about in the Indiana forum a couple of days ago.


"(Marion County) - An Indianapolis couple volunteered, for their first time, to work at the polls on Election Day, so they requested absentee ballots. On Monday they received a surprise in the mail that had them asking: “Will my vote count?"

1. Thanks for calling attention to this

perhaps a few other folks will see the story and be able to make sure that their votes count.

2. That type of error should not happen especially with computers!!

They should have a separate database with addresses and corresponding precinct and other political districts.

I wouldn't put it past this woman to program it so that Democrats get the wrong ballot.

I just checked their registration and they both have the same State House District 92, same State Senate District 35 and the same U.S. Congressional District 7.
