Linn County Auditor Linda Langenberg says overvotes may exceed 150 in Cedar Rapids Tuesday's primary, far above the usual under 20. Ballots marked for more than one candidate were not counted. Unofficial mayoral and safety commissioner totals show gaps explained by overvotes, split ballots, write ins, or spoiled ballots. Official results follow Monday after canvass.
