ELECTION NOTICE
Following the completion of the reconciliation by the Supervisor of Elections of the ballots cast with the number of voters voting, a discrepancy of one ballot in Rock Bluff - Precinct No. 1 and one ballot in Bristol - Precinct No. 3 has been determined. This discrepancy occurred due to a ballot jam at each location and the ballot was rescanned per the Supervisors instructions which caused each ballot to be inadvertently read twice.
The Canvassing Board reconvened at 10:50 a.m. August 28, 2008 and determined that the ballots in Precinct No. 1 and Precinct No. 3 would be retabulated to correct this error. The retabulation will commence in the Supervisor's workroom at 1:30 p.m. today. The public is invited.
