Just stopped by Glenwood Meadows on my way into The Star. The folks there told me our Joan Garrett had just left. Nothing wrong with hitting them up twice.
Polling clerk George Areno, who also is a Jacksonville City Councilman, had just finished helping a voter fill out a new ballot after her original one was rejected by the voting machine. He showed me her "spoiled" ballot before stuffing it into an envelope with 15 others that had errors. The woman had made a stray mark with her pen in the upper right hand corner of her ballot. The mark was only the size of two grains of rice, but it was enough to throw the machine for a loop.
The machine spits out a long receipt-like tape with details of all errors made during the course of the day. That, plus all the spoiled ballots will be returned the sheriff's office to make sure everything's accounted for, according to Tracey Beavers, the polling inspector there.
