Voter inaccuracies have been reported in the State 12th District House Race with some voters in Floyd County reporting being given wrong ballots. That according to a press release issued by State House Representative Barbara Massey Reece, of Chattooga County, on Thursday.

According to the release, Reece was contacted by a Floyd County voter who had voted early for the November 6 General Election that lives in the newly drawn 12th State House District and reported to Reece that he was given an electronic ballot that did not contain the district's contest.

Reece consulted the approved district lines and found that the voter did indeed live within the boundaries of the newly designated 12th district. She then notified the Floyd County election officials while looking into the matter and discovered that there were several inaccuracies in the 12th District maps used by Floyd County to prepare the electronic ballots.

In the release, Reece says, "I spent a lot of time the other with Floyd County election officials. It appears to me that there are several incidents of whole streets or portions of streets and neighborhoods, that have been marked as being out of the 12th District, when in fact, they are in the district.

Reece said, she is disappointed that some residents in Floyd County are being denied the opportunity to vote for who their State Representative will be. She said she is raising the issue to warn all potential early voters to check their ballots before they finalize them during the early voting process.

She says if you think you live in the 12th District and do not see the race on your ballot, please alert poll  workers immediately.

Reece says she is sending a letter to the Secretary of State's Office informing them of the voting inacuraccies that are taking place and asking what remedies are available.
