Wrong ballots distributed at Topeka voting site

? A northeast Kansas elections official says her office is trying to determine how many voters received the wrong ballots at a Topeka polling place.

Shawnee County Elections Commissioner Elizabeth Ensley Deiter said Thursday the problem occurred at the Light of the World Christian Center because a supervising judge wasn’t following her training. Ensley dismissed the judge Tuesday afternoon.

Deiter said by the time she stepped in, 315 voters had cast ballots at the church. She said not all of them received the wrong ballots.

The problem could affect results in the 52nd and 56th Kansas House districts, because residents of both voted at the church. All affected voters are in the 20th Kansas Senate district.

The Shawnee County Commission will determine Monday what to do with the affected ballots.
