90% of Hillsborough absentee ballots rejected so far (FL)
ABC Action News 29 October 2008
TAMPA, FL Nearly 90 percent of the absentee ballots checked by the Hillsborough County Canvassing Board so far have been rejected and will not count in the November 4th General Election.
Canvassing Board member Keven White told ABCActionNews.com that 55 of 103 ballots canvassed today were rejected because they had no signature.
Of the remaining 48 ballots, White said only 10 to 12 had signatures that matched those on file with the Supervisor of Elections office.
White, who is a Hillsborough County Commissioner, is warning those with absentee ballots to sign the ballots themselves, or they will not count.
