WFDD reports (scroll down) more than 1,000 provisional ballots were cast during the March 15 primary—-three times as many as were cast in 20102, according to elections director Charlie Collicutt.
Collicut cited citizens not being registered to vote and trying to vote at wrong precincts as reasons why so many provisional ballots were cast. He did say, however, that the new voter ID law “may have played a part, but couldn’t pinpoint how much that factored into the increase,” as WFDD reports.
