BERNALILLO COUNTY IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH ITS ABSENTEE BALLOTS. IT’S MAILED OUT OVER 26-THOUSAND OF THEM … ABOUT HALF OF WHICH HAVE BEEN RETURNED. BUT AN UNDETERMINED NUMBER OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS MAILED BACK TO THE COUNTY CLERK HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO SENDER.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS IT’S BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH A MAIL-SORTING MACHINE … AND THAT POSTAL WORKERS HAVE SINCE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DELIVER ALL ABSENTEE BALLOTS TO THE CLERK’S OFFICE.
JOHN FRIESS WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE IN DENVER SAYS SUCH PROBLEMS ARE ISOLATED AND THAT MOST BALLOTS ARE DELIVERED WITH NO PROBLEM.
