Draft quota error forces Stark County review
Canton draft figures were corrected after an error skewed Stark County’s quota from 177 686 to about 109 500 and altered its enlistment target from 1 443 to 896. Officials in Canton and Columbus reported the miscalculation to the Stark County election board and to Washington, triggering a statewide quota revision and recount of registration figures.
