Elmore County reports hundreds of uncounted ballots, prompting election review [View all]

About 300 ballots in Elmore County were not counted in the results of the Nov. 4 election.

The Elmore County clerk notified the Secretary of State’s office of the discrepancy last Friday, kicking off an investigation into what happened.

Secretary of State Phil McGrane said there is no indication of foul play, but called the situation very concerning.

“We're looking at potentially 10% of the ballots cast in this election at this point, not having been tabulated,” he said, adding there have been instances where ballots were tabulated after Election Day.
