The new number places yet another level of scrutiny around Nashville’s voting system.
The amount is a stark jump from the initial number that the Davidson County Election Commission provided last week, when officials said the problem was contained to just 212 miscast ballots. Election administrator Jeff Roberts said Monday that the initial amount did not take into account the final three days of early voting, which ended last Thursday. He also provided a list of the affected voters.
On Friday, however, officials reversed course, saying there was still a risk of an unknown amount of voters receiving the wrong ballot. Voters whose districts were correctly assigned will cast their ballots on voting machines at their regular polling places. Meanwhile, in Benton County, several addresses were still receiving conflicting information from different government sources on which congressional races residents should vote in.Benton County elections administrator Jeff Beasley said Monday that he has fixed assignments for a handful of people he said were put into the wrong contest. He said those people he reassigned — there were fewer than 10 — have not voted yet.
