DEMOCRATS WILL ASK FOR SPECIAL ELECTION AFTER BALLOT ERROR IN TIPPECANOE TOWNSHIP
The head of Tippecanoe County’s Democratic Party told county election officials Friday he planned to ask the courts to consider a special election in Tippecanoe Township, after 424 voters cast ballots over nearly two weeks of early voting in October that mistakenly left off the name of the Democratic candidate for township trustee.
Holden Mugford, a Democratic candidate for trustee in the township north of West Lafayette and in and around Battle Ground, lost the Nov. 3 election to incumbent Republican Bill Jones by 118 votes.
Ken Jones, the county’s Democratic Party chair, said that after efforts by county election officials to fix the problem and to reach out to the 424 voters to have them cast new ballots, the margin of victory by Bill Jones should be considered in doubt, due to what was chalked up to an error by the vendor of the county’s vote machines.
“We appreciate the transparency and responsiveness shown by the election office throughout this process,” Ken Jones told the Tippecanoe County Election Board Friday. “However, the simple truth remains that none of us can know the true will of the voters in Tippecanoe Township regarding their next township trustee.”
