MO: Dem AG Candidate Claims “wrongly rejected ballots” in Primary

Don’t know what disenfranchised means?  There are some voters in Michigan and Florida who were feeling that way for awhile.  This is a big problem, and fabulous lawsuit to prolong the Democrat A.G. primary in Missouri.  From ksdk.com:

Contesting a narrow loss, attorney general candidate Margaret Donnelly filed suit Monday in the Missouri Supreme Court alleging some ballots in the Democratic primary were wrongly rejected by local election officials.

Donnelly lost by just 780 votes to Chris Koster out of more than 346,000 votes cast in the three-way Democratic attorney general primary Aug. 5.

She asked Secretary of State Robin Carnahan for a re-count Friday. In her lawsuit Monday, Donnelly said she was told by Carnahan’s office that the re-count would not include absentee and provisional ballots that local election authorities decided should not be counted.

Donnelly’s suit claims the number of ballots in question is equal to or greater than her margin of defeat.

“These irregularities are of sufficient magnitude to cast doubt on the validity of the official results of the election,” Donnelly’s lawsuit states.
