More Than 1,000 Ballots Lost




Oh, Florida. More than 1,000 absentee ballots cast in a state House primary election have been lost, the St. Pete Times reports:

Just nine days before the primary election, the U.S. Postal Service has lost more than 1,100 absentee ballots for the state House District 55 race.

Pinellas elections officials said they delivered the 1,117 ballots to the Clearwater Bulk Mail Unit on Monday.
