Issues and confusion reported at one Upstate polling place

Confusion
Voters at Simpsonville United Methodist Church

Voters at one Upstate polling location have reported issues. Residents of the Powderhorn District in Greenville County ran into problems while voting at Simpsonville United Methodist Church, this morning.

The computer system was showing that their precinct was "unknown". The issues stemmed from a communication error between the state and the county.


Greenville County Elections Director Conway Belangia explained the issue further, saying it came from a school board district line that was drawn in the wrong precinct. Adjustments are being made to rectify that. Belangia said " When any of those voters came in, we would have had to had a ballot style pulled up on the marking device for them specifically. That was the instruction and how we had to handle those voters"

Belagnia says, that is the only issue of its type, today in Greenville County. Stay tuned to 106.3 WORD for our Decision 2022 coverage of the midterm elections.
