COLUMBUS, Ohio – Franklin County taxpayers could be asked to pick up the tab for those who do not read directions on their absentee ballots.

According to Franklin County Board of Elections spokesman Ben Piscitelli, the board ordered envelops before the final ballot was ready.

The ballot turned out to be heavier than the board originally thought, and the postage required on them increased to 65 cents.

Instead of noting on the envelop how many stamps are required, it just reads “Place stamp here.”

Voter Donna King just learned that voting in Franklin County takes a close eye for instructions to do it right.
