BALTIMORE (AP) - Maryland's State Board of Elections has ordered Baltimore to rescind its certification of last month's primary results. But it's not yet clear if that could change the winners of any contests, including the bitterly fought mayor's race.
Linda Lamone, state administrator of elections, said in a phone interview Thursday that 80 unchecked provisional ballots were found in a supply closet in a warehouse.
Lamone says the city also failed to do other post-election checks, including comparing the number of voters who checked in at a polling place to the number who actually voted.
The city had certified its results on Monday, but rescinding that certification resets deadlines to contest the election or ask for recounts.
