  • There were 7 in-person ballots recorded as absentee ballots.

Absentee Voter File

The McDuffie absentee voter file has 74 invalid precinct codes assigned to voters. Valid precincts:

  • 101 - N. McDuffie
  • 102 - Cedar Rock
  • 103 - Depot
  • 104 - Sweetwater
  • 105 - White Oak
  • 106 - Dearing
  • 107 - Fort Creek

But there are 74 absentee voters assigned to some very differently named precincts

  • 133A - 18 voters - Ballot styles: 129

  • 135- 10 voters - Ballot style: 134
