First, congratulations to all Primary winners!

(LOL Redder got 293 votes and wasn't even actively campaigning and wasn't interested in running for Town Board)
Republican Town Council
At least now there will be choices for Town Council in November. Whether they win or lose - I am thankful that they took the time to file petitions to primary, and I'm thankful that they won their Republican Primary so people can have a choice, a reason to go vote, and a reason for the BOE to set up their machines in November.

What are under votes and over votes?
I think it has to do with in correct or invalid votes, and the new optical scan voting machines we have now.
For instance, an "over vote" may mean you voted for more candidates than you were permitted to on the ballot, and an "under vote" may mean you voted for less than the number permitted.
Say that you went to vote on Tuesday and you voted for both MJD and Ament - you were only supposed to vote for one but you either marked both circles or the scanner picked up both circles in error....that would be an over vote, and I think it makes that vote invalid.
For the Town Council race, if you only marked one circle (instead of picking two that you were permitted to on the ballot).....that would be an under vote, which is ok and would not make that vote invalid.
At least that is what I think it means.
The old voting machines allowed under voting but mechanically prevented over voting. The new paper ballots allow under voting but reject ballots with over votes. The voter takes the ballot back to the table where it is invalidated and a new one is issued. You get up to three trys at this.
"The voter takes the ballot back to the table where it is invalidated and a new one is issued. You get up to three trys at this."
If you're at the polling place - yes.
If you fill out an absentee ballot (which is what I think anonymous was referring to - the pages of absentee results I put up had over and under on there) - in that case, they don't have three tries at it - and I believe that the vote is invalid if it is an over vote.
At least that is how I am understanding it.
Thanks.
After looking at the image of the MCBoE Summary Report for the Republican results, I noticed that apparently it shows the Democrats winning:
Nottell: 26
Moore: 27
Perticone: 33
Aldersley: 33
The images of the results as shown using the interactive tool on the MCBoE web site seem to be a more accurate reflection of the outcome.
Odd isn't it?
Tom -
Those top two pages are just absentee ballots.
The other screen shots, or the interactive tool on the MCBOE website shows the results from election day.
