Local Voting Irregularities
KNS reporter Michael Silence covers some voting problems:
Due to a poll worker’s error, as many as 155 people may have wrongly voted in some school board races at the South Knoxville early-voting location, Knox County Administrator of Elections Greg Mackay said Tuesday.
But there’s more:
Knox County election commissioners decided Wednesday they would allow 10 voters to recast ballots in their precinct’s respective school board race to correct a poll worker’s mistake.
But whether the votes are ultimately counted will depend on how closely any of the races in question are decided.

I was hoping that since Pat Crippins left, this kind of embarrassment would depart with her. There wasn’t an election under her watch that didn’t have some kind of problem. To be fair to her and Mr. McKay, I don’t believe any of these errors are serious or deliberate…but someone needs to hold folks accountable and get this crap resolved.
