Possible voter fraud in Columbus, Macon
Whether a case of voter fraud or a side effect of poor voter turnout, state and local election officials are concerned about the number of absentee ballots cast in Columbus during the city’s May 5 primary elections.
Columbus’ May 5 Democratic primary saw the second-most number of absentee ballots cast in a municipal primary across the state when local election officials reported 319, or 32 percent, of the 995 total Democratic votes cast were absentee.
In the city’s Republican primary, about 2 percent of the 1,130 total votes were absentee.
