Early voting shifts to direct machines

The early voting activity at the Chisago County Government Center switched over to “direct” balloting. This means early ‘absentee’ votes from now until just before Election Day, will be entered into and counted in a physical election machine. The hundreds of local paper ballots cast before Friday were sealed and retained in a secure space and these were to go to the Absentee Ballot Board for day-of tallies, explained Chisago County Auditor-Treasurer Bridgitte Konrad.
