MUNCIE -- Some missing ballots were found Wednesday while others remained unaccounted for as the Delaware County Election Board moved toward Friday certification of final election results.

"I accept full responsibility for these problems," said County Clerk Karen Wenger, county election administrator. "I realize the buck stops with me."

Wenger, along with county election and voter registration staff, worked Wednesday to solve the cases of missing ballots and vote miscounts, finding 17 provisional ballots that had not been counted from Precinct 44, where voters cast ballots at Ivy Tech Community College.

Those ballots had been incorrectly added to the count in Precinct 23, which votes at Forest Park Senior Citizens Center, Wenger said.
