Election officials in Benton County reported that “likely fewer than 10” voters were given an incorrect ballot during early voting, the Tennessean reports. The issue appears to be tied to confusion over congressional districts. Benton is one of seven counties that contains precincts split among multiple congressional districts. Davidson and Shelby counties, which reported issues last week, are part of that group, as are Campbell, Jefferson, Scott and Tipton counties, which have not yet indicated any issues. Last week, election officials said that 212 voters in Davidson County were given the wrong ballot. That number now appears to be closer to 438. Officials in Shelby County said 50 voters were given the wrong ballot.
