Glitches reported in just 3 precincts | Elections | Macon.com

Problems reported in Tuesday’s historic Macon-Bibb election are not likely to interfere with certification, said Elections Supervisor Jeanetta Watson.

After visiting precincts all day and hearing from poll managers by phone, Watson said the glitches were confined to precincts at the Hephzibah Children’s Home, Vineville United Methodist Church and Middle Georgia State College.

“I have not heard of anywhere else that had any issues,” Watson said. “I’ve been out there looking myself and things were running like a well-oiled machine.”

Macon City Councilwoman Nancy White took issue with Watson’s statement.

White said she reported at lunch time that her brother and sister-in-law encountered a problem at Northeast High School.

The couple’s address was validated for District 3, but they had ballots for District 2 and reported the error before voting, White told The Telegraph in an email Tuesday afternoon.

“The frustrating thing is, it is the identical issue my relatives reported the 3rd day of early voting and it wasn’t corrected!” White commented on Facebook.
