County Clerk is checking into reports of problems with city voting

We're expecting word from Clerk Rodger's office shortly on the situation. Write in candidate Ben Arnold says he's received word of problems in three of the four polling places in the city: Blair Center, Wheet Hall, and Trinity.

By Ed Waggener

There are reports coming in to us of some city voters not being able to vote in the city elections. The county court clerk's office confirmed that Clerk Joyce Rodgers is visiting the polls, but did not explain the full nature of the problem except to say that there appears to be "some confusion," and that Clerk Rodgers is now checking into it.

On problem that was confirmed this morning was that for a short time West Columbia ran short of the paper ballots most voters prefer; and that some voters may have left the polls instead of using the machines (a slightly more complicated case).

Ben Arnold, the write in candidate, said that he had received word from three of the four city voting locations - from The Blair Center, Wheet Hall, and Trinity; none from Hurt - of at least 6 voters with complaints, which he passed on to the clerk's office.

Council Member Ron Rogers said that one voter - a supporter of his who is a professional man of high standing in the community - called out loud wondering where the city council ballot was on the ballot. And was told it was on the back. Rogers wondered if other city voters may not have had adequately understood, or if they had had adequate instructions. In this case it was quickly resolved.

And a in the last hour or so, Chief Jason Cross rushed into the Annex building with some notes and said that he was going in to find out about problems with confusion for city voters.
