(Ohio) Sandusky County elections officials discovered some ballots in the Nov. 2 election were counted twice.
The finding further emphasizes the fact that the 49-vote lead Republican challenger Irma Celestino has over Democratic incumbent Anna Senior isn't the final word. That race will be decided when provisional, military or remade ballots are counted and the official count is taken Thursday. It is not known how much of an impact it might have had on any other unofficial count.<snip>
"Clyde had 131 percent voting," (Barb) Tuckerman (director of the Sandusky County Board of Elections) said. "That's not possible. I knew there was something amiss." <snip>
Tuckerman said the Secretary of State's office advised against investigating how many twice-counted ballots are included in the election's unofficial results and instead suggested the local board focus on determining the official election results. <snip>
=============================================================================
SO WE HAVE TO BE COUNTED: ballots that were torn, damaged, had stray marks or where voters did not follow instructions, including cases where ovals were not only colored in but also circled plus military ballots and provisional ballots that were disqualified because their registrations were purged for not voting for several years, or because records indicated they were registered in other states or there was no record of them ever having registered.
