Primary mayor votes lost as voters pull and push pointers
City Comptroller Marty W Carroll and deputy James P Agnew estimate between 3 500 and 9 600 voters did not vote at all in the February 17 mayoral primary. The apparent cause was voters pulling the pointer over a mayoral candidate then lifting it to conceal their choice. Firemen observed multiple instances at a fire station booth leading to ballot nullifications and a warning to voters not to repeat the act in the upcoming general election.
