Ballot confusion in Franklin County primary noted
Franklin County Clerk Laura Sutton acknowledged a confusing ballot layout for Tuesday's Republican primary ballots. The issue involved an oval beside running mates names, raising potential mix ups among gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidates. Despite concerns, local results favored Peckham, Hayden, Weigand, and Beemont, with no statewide impact. Early voting staff offered new ballots, and names rotation by the Secretary of State aimed to curb ballot order advantage. Final Franklin County tallies came in by 9 p.m.
