Dissatisfaction with county officials, election department

I am very disappointed in our Lincoln County Commissioners and the Election Department.

What they did with our primary election of 2026 should be a crime.

I received my ballot by mail, read the instructions, filled out the ballot and mailed it back ASAP. But to find out later the instructions were wrong. My ballot will not be counted.

The Election Department is passing the buck and pointing fingers.

I lost my Constitutional right to vote. Not only did I lose my right to vote, the tax money wasted on printing the ballots and postage.

Where do they think the money comes from? Property tax!

Yes! The county screwed up again and the cost falls on us property owners.
