Officials in Ohio said that about 50,000 voters in Franklin County received incorrect absentee ballots in the mail. “We can now confirm that 49,669 voters received an incorrect ballot. Those voters will be contacted directly by the Franklin County Board of Elections and a replacement ballot will be mailed to them,” said the Franklin County Board of Elections.
