Los Angeles County to Review Super Tuesday Ballots

HeadlineFeb 07, 2008

In California, the acting Los Angeles County Registrar has announced his office will examine more than 94,000 ballots cast on Tuesday following an uproar from voters who fear their votes will not count. In California, independent voters are allowed to take part in the Democratic or the American Independent Party primaries. In Los Angeles County, these nonpartisan voters are given a special ballot where they must pick a candidate and mark an additional bubble denoting which party primary they were voting in. If the second bubble is not marked, officials say the vote does not count. It is unclear how many votes for presidential candidates may have gone uncounted.
