Malfeasance |
IN |

Vanderburgh County. County Clerk Marsha Abell estimates approximately 150 mailed-in absentee ballots were not counted because of handling errors, either by voters or by a temporary Election Office employee who was terminated. Some were not counted because they lacked the necessary two sets of initials, one each from a Republican and Democratic election worker.

Marion County. Thousands of votes are missing on 66 missing memory cards (e-ballot boxes). Marion County Clerk Doris Anne Sadler (R) says this occurs every election. "Usually it doesn't make a difference in the outcome of an election, so no one pays attention to that. But in this case it could make or break a candidate's position," she said. So far 23 cards have been found.

Registered voters in Marion County have been turned away from area polling sites today because their names were mistakenly purged from poll books -- an error election and state officials are feverishly working to fix. Up to 3,376 names of Indianapolis residents were removed from the list because they were thought to be dead -- even though many could still be alive.
