Members of the Marshall County Election Board, Rick Huff the Democrat, Adam Lukenbill the Republican, and County Clerk Jenny Bennitt met at 1 p.m. Monday after the early voting polls closed. The Election Board members needed to count the early mail-in and travel board ballots to make sure their count matched the Absentee Voter Board’s numbers. The Absentee Voter Board included Donna Pontius and Barb Holcomb.
