Watertown Daily Times | Military ballots will lack a race:
By Friday, the Jefferson County Board of Elections will be forced by state law to mail more than 600 military voters a ballot that doesn't include the special 23rd Congressional District race.
Commissioners are caught in the cross hairs between state laws governing regularly scheduled elections and special elections.
They must, by law, send military voters a ballot 32 days before a general election. But they also must allow 14 days after the governor's call for a special election for any potential independent candidates to collect signatures and request placement on the ballot.
