Greene County ­ Long Waits, the Unlocked Lockdown and Discarded Ballots

4.

We have received information indicating negligence and potential tampering with Greene

County ballots and voting machines. On December 9, election observers interviewed the County

Director of Elections, Carole Garman, and found substantial discrepancies in the number of

voting machines per voter in low-income areas as compared to other areas.410 Apparently, some

consolidated precincts had almost the state imposed limit of 1,400 registered voters and others

had only a few hundred voters.411 One of the precincts disproportionately affected included

Central State University and Wilbur Force University, both historically black universities.412
