COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Election workers in Cobb County are reaching out to notify 73 absentee-by-mail voters that they received the wrong ballot last week.
A couple told poll workers they received the wrong ballot in the mail, according to officials.
Further investigation found that "a processing error resulted in only republican ballots being sent out Friday, February 23."
Cobb election officials said those ballots have already been canceled, and workers will be reaching out to notify voters affected about the issue and will mail them corrected ballots on Tuesday.
“We are happy this situation was found quickly,” Elections Director Tate Fall said. “Our staff was able to pinpoint the issue, identify those who received the wrong ballot, and determine how to correct it. We believe this processing error only impacted ballots issued on Friday, February 23rd.”
