Leftover Election Sign Causes Some Confusion Saturday At Glover Elementary
by Jamie Mock, FBN
At least one Missouri City voter was misdirected on election day due to a sign mistakenly left up by the Fort Bend County Election Administration.
The sign, placed at Glover Elementary during the primary run-off, told voters from precincts 2077 and 2141 that their polling location had moved from Glover Elementary to the Missouri City Community Center.
Missouri City resident Beth Blankenship saw the sign, and went to the community center on Saturday to vote. She was told she could not vote, because she was not on the voting roster. She told election officials about the sign, and the election judge at Glover was contacted. By the time Blankenship returned to Glover to vote, the sign was taken down. Blankenship was able to cast her vote.
“My concern was how many people may have just turned away after they went to vote and saw the sign was up,” said Blankenship. “A lot of people might have thought it was official and didn’t vote.” . . . follow the full link below:
