Century Voter Turnout High; 26 Percent Voted Absentee

people should be allowed to vote however they need to vote as long as they are legitimate voters. Admittedly it’s easier to cheat but that’s part of the price of freedom.
It doesn’t seem odd at all to me! Look at the percentages. Century’s absentee ballot percentage is still a lot lower than the county average. As an absentee ballot voter, myself, I find it appalling that so many are making these false accusations. Sour grapes is all that is!
Hmmm doesn’t this seem a bit odd? The absentee ballots should be questioned. Too many people talking in town about absentee ballots that were requested but”the voter” didn’t request them.
