According to News9, an investigation is underway after voters reported that Republicans were not being given City Council ballots at a Tulsa precinct on Election Day.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Sheriff Vic Regalado said that detectives confirmed that poll workers at precinct 77 did deny city council ballots to some voters from each party. Regalado says that poll workers claimed to be following the instructions of the judge pollster. Regalado said that the judge pollster was interviewed and confirmed what had happened but said that it was a mistake.
Tulsa County Election Board Director Gwen Freeman said that they believe about 30 voters were affected from 7 a.m. until 8 a.m. The Election Board was notified around 7:45 am and instructed the poll workers at the precinct to hand out city council ballots to all voters. At that point, the Election Board and Sheriff’s Office began an official joint investigation.
