Election Discussion

Kathy Meyer, right, deputy director of the Fulton County Board of Elections, shows Joe Short, Fulton County commissioner, the new vote counting room at the board's Wauseon office. Vote counting equipment was moved from a small room in the front of the building to a more centralized location, to improve traffic flow in the office on election nights. The commissioners have refused a directive from the Ohio Secretary of State, calling for the board to make paper ballots available for the March 4 primary election.- photo by David Pugh
