State election officials expect turnout under 10 percent
Government Accountability Board spokesman Reid Magney said there was only one significant issue reported today. At a polling site in Salem, which is in Kenosha County, voters were allowed to cast ballots for up to four candidates in a town supervisor race. State law only allows voters to cast ballots for up to two.
The problem was discovered this morning, the clerk was directed to isolate the ballots that could have four votes and the ballots were updated to correct that votes could only be cast for two candidates.
There were six people in the race with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election.
