Not everything about the Aug. 5 elections went smoothly, according to three county residents.
Tom Kunesh and Isaac and Charlene Grimes said they mistakenly cast non-partisan general election ballots when they went to their East Side precinct and asked for but did not receive Democratic ballots.
The general election ballots only contained the county races and did not have any of the partisan races for Congress or the governor’s race.
Charlotte Mullis-Morgan, administrator of elections for Hamilton County, said she was concerned when the three came to the Election Commission Office to complain on Aug. 5, but said she could not give the voters new ballots.
“The (poll) workers were wrong,” she said. “They didn’t realize that they had a Democratic ballot right there.”
