Dems Steal Sodrel Absentee Ballots?
UPDATE:
Both parties had their eyes on the situation as the FBI investigated allegations that a Democratic volunteer was found with unprocessed absentee ballots in her possession after the county began tallying absentee votes.
Monroe County is the largest county in the 9th Congressional District, where Republican Rep. Mike Sodrel lost to former Democratic Rep. Baron Hill in their third matchup since 2002.
Before the vote-counting showed him losing, Sodrel said he was concerned about the potential impact on the election.
“It would be really unfortunate that anybody from any party would expose themselves to possible violations of the law to win elections. That’s not how you conduct an election,” he said.
Melanie Morris, Hill’s spokeswoman, said the campaign had an attorney in Monroe County monitoring the situation.
