Business:
Mrs. Jones updated the Board of issues at a couple early voting sites.
• Erwin
o Concession worker blew electrical fuse. Power went out for 5-10 minutes,
voting was not interrupted.
Western Harnett
o Fire alarm pulled. As they were getting ready to exit, alarm stopped. Voting
was not interrupted.
o Complaint that site closed at 2:58 on November 5. Chief Judge stated she
closed polls with the same machine she opened the polls with on October 20.
Mrs. Jones informed the Board that One -Stop voter history numbers matched the machine totals
with two exceptions. On the first day of early voting, one voter in Lillington got two ballots and
one in Angier where a father voted on a son's record, he came back and voted a provisional
ballot. Both voters voted a correct and incorrect ballot. Mr. Currin moved to allow Mrs. Jones to
pull the incorrect ballot. Mr. Coker seconded. Approved without dissent. The pulled ballots will
be subtracted from the One -Stop site tapes on Election Night.
The Board reviewed the absentee envelopes and absentee list. Mr. Bell moved to approve the list.
Mr. Coker seconded. Approved without dissent.
The Board reviewed the military and overseas ballots duplicated by the bipartisan team per the
duplication policy.

approve ballots through the DS200. The Board verified the final number was 1380 and turned the
DS200 off.
With no further business to discuss, Mr. Bell moved to adjourn. Mr. Coker seconded. The
meeting adjourned at 7:57 pm.
