Candidate Reacts to Ballot Error That May Have Cost Votes (AR) Story Here Archive |
A Redfield alderman candidate who may have lost votes due to an error on Redfield and Altheimer early voting ballots expressed dismay on Saturday that such a mistake could occur. Im kind of speechless that this happened, said Brenda Carmical, Redfield alderman candidate, Ward 2, Position 2. I would like to know how many have voted to this point to see how many votes we may have missed. We have a problem in Redfield where many dont get out to vote so it usually comes down to the nitty gritty. If someone has voted already, it could really have a significant impact on the results. Our last mayor won by only three votes. |
