Absentee Ballot Irregularities Dominate Board Review
The special board finished registering city and county residents in the armed services and now weighs 59 or more ballots with irregularities on envelopes. They may count ballots lacking voter signatures if the name is printed, but likely reject envelopes without officer attestations. Age gaps and proof of age are addressed by contacting families. No new absentee ballots have arrived from Annapolis yet, and deadlines approach Wednesday. Some requests sought ballots for non ENTITLED individuals or voters away on election day, but voting must occur where registered.
