VANDERBURGH ABSENTEE APPS REJECTED

County - election officials are working to replace hundreds of absentee ballot applications - that were not in compliance with the law.... the vanderburgh county board of elections notifying voters - after ballot applications were rejected.... the rejected applications were sent out by a*volunteer*not affiliated with the election office.... according to county clerk carla hayden - more than 300 applications mailed out by that person*already had the democratic party box checked.... hayden says - after being asked to stop by the elections office - post- marks reveal the person continued sending them out.... "it's unfortunate in its tying up a lot of my staff when we have other things we need to be getting ready for and an influx of absentee ballot aplications that are legitimate that because people are choosing to go by mail more in this election than weve had in the pass so in addition to doing what we regularly work to turn around and send somebody aplication to fill it out so were having to touch it twice."

The board of elections has sent their findings to the prosecutor office.... the elections office has mailed out*new applications - which need to be returned by tonight.... 44news reached out to the vanderburgh county democratic party.

Chair-person hardcastle tells us - they are looking into the applications.... with professional sports
