Schuyler County election authorities corrected a misprint on ballots, but several dozen votes could still be disregarded because of the error.
Republican senate nominee Kathy Salvi, left, faces U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth in the November election.
The error in Schuyler County could lead to several dozen votes in the Senate race being disregarded, an Illinois State Board of Elections spokesperson said. Republican U.S. Senate nominee Kathy Salvi labeled the misprint a “problem of election integrity and transparency,” but Schuyler County Clerk Mindy Garrett said there was no ill intent.“This has nothing to do with voter fraud. It was human error. We all make mistakes,” said Garrett, who is a Democrat.
Of the 307 mail-in ballots that had been sent to Schuyler County voters, 155 had been returned to county election officials. However, the 155 returned ballots have not yet been processed, meaning voters will have the opportunity to use a corrected ballot to vote, Garrett said. “This error was a printing error that happened at the local level. Once we’ve certified the ballot, we don’t have any involvement,” Dietrich said.The state Republican party agrees that the mistake was made by Schuyler County officials, not the state elections board, Zenn said.
