SANFORD, Fla. -- Several hundred ballots in Seminole County, Fla., mysteriously got wet and were rejected by voting machines Tuesday, according to Local 6 News.
The wet ballots were apparently discovered unmarked Tuesday at the Community United Methodist Church in Casselberry, Fla.
The Supervisor of Elections, Dennis Joyner, said he does not know how the ballots became wet, Local 6 News reported. He said ballots were dry when the boxes were shipped out of the office, according to the report.
Also, the region has not seen rain this week.
"Some of the ballots were wet when they opened them this morning," witness Beth Anker said. "They were a little wet from something and were not going into the machine correctly."
Joyner told Local 6 News that anyone whose wet ballot was rejected by a voting machine was allowed to fill in a new ballot.
Complaints of voter intimidation were also reported at the same voting precinct, Local 6 News reported.
