Columbus election officials begin today processing affidavit ballots
By Dispatch Staff Report 6 hours ago
Columbus election officials this morning began processing 158 affidavit ballots for Tuesday’s general election for municipal offices.
The mayor’s race most assuredly hangs in the balance. Independent challenger Keith Gaskin finished election day with a 66-vote lead over incumbent mayor Robert Smith, a Democrat. Montrell Coburn, another independent in the race, garnered only 67 votes.
Election officials can accept or reject affidavits, and candidates have the right to challenge individual ballots before they are opened and counted.
Election officials will process each ballot individually, confirming a voter’s residence and eligibility, and contacting the voter if necessary. Representatives with the Secretary of State’s and Lowndes County Circuit Clerk’s offices are also present for the count.
