DODGE CITY, Kansas — Questions have arisen after a zero was dropped in the Spanish translation on a bilingual ballot for a Dodge City school district bond issue.

The mail-in ballot, which is due back in the Ford County Clerk’s office June 25, explains that the bond amount isn’t to exceed $85.6 million, The Hutchinson News (http://bit.ly/1QVrq1F )reports. The English wording is fine, but in the Spanish translation, the amount is listed as “$85,600,00.”

Ford County is one of four in the state that must provide bilingual ballots.

“The typo in and of itself does not invalidate an election,” said Bryan Caskey, state director of elections in Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office.

Caskey did not know of a mechanism granting the Secretary of State or any other governmental entity the authority to declare an election invalid while voting is taking place. After election results are certified, the election could be officially contested, he said. More.
