As of today, the 61,000 ballots that were delayed by one week are in voters’ hands.
“I want to thank the voters of Adams County who called and emailed my office asking about their ballots. Because of their concern, we were able to discover this error and correct it as soon as possible,” says Stan Martin, Adams County Clerk and Recorder. “Our ballot-tracking system indicated ballots were going out each day, so the voters raising awareness helped us address this issue more quickly.”
61,000 Adams County Ballots Now En Route to Voters
On Monday, Oct. 15, our print vendor, K&H Printers, delivered Adams County ballots to the USPS General Mail Facility. About 61,000 of those—including Clerk Stan Martin’s—did not make it into the mail stream and were returned to a secure location.

Those ballots are now in USPS’ hands to be processed this evening for delivery to voters over the next few days.
