Carteret county precinct may have to vote again

[jdj]

The state Board of Elections will meet the week of Nov. 29 and, among other issues, consider how to resolve the previously disclosed loss of 4,438 votes in Carteret County because of malfunctioning machines. The board could ask the voters whose votes were lost to vote again, since the county can identify who came to the polls, or order a new election.

The board has to consider "what options are legal and would stand the test in court if a lawsuit was filed," Bartlett said.

At the same meeting, board members will wrestle with the question of how to count provisional ballots cast by voters outside their home precincts. Fletcher, the Republican candidate for state schools superintendent, and Mecklenburg County commissioner Bill James have sued over the ballots, highlighting the state constitution's requirement that a voter live in his or her "precinct, ward or other election district" for 30 days before the election.
