Dispute Delays
Ballot Count In
Graham County
A dispute over absentee ballots
in the general election in Gra
ham county Tuesday has resulted
in a delay in the counting of the
votes. .
No figures on the county or
other races in Graham county
were available today, but political
observers said the contests were
close and that the decision con
cerning the absentee ballots will
probably decide the election.
The county board of elections
is scheduled to meet in Robbins
ville today to tabulate the re
turns. The absentee ballots total
about CO. A large number of these
were sent to Graham county by
citizens of the county who are
now in the armed services.
Because of the controversy over
the absentee ballots, election re
turns have not been reported ex
cept in a few precincts, it was
stated. It was also said that the
dispute over the absentee ballots
concerns the proper interpreta
tion of the state statute govern
ing absentee ballots.
