UPDATED @ 9:37 PM    6:52 PM     ELECTION 2025 –

UPDATED @ 5:16 PM 3:36 PM Ozark Voting In Turmoil

OZARK:       3:36 PM       Registered voters in Ozark, lifelong registred voters, who reside in the corporate city limits of Ozark have appeared at the polling place to vote.

Then they were told the books do not show they reside in the city limits of Ozark Alabama and have been required to vote a provosional ballot. UNCONFIRMED reports, as of 3:36 PM at least 400 provisional ballots cast so far.

Law Enforcement have been required to carry additional provisional ballots to the polling place several times today. If I could share some of the people who have been required to vote provisional because the records do not show them living in the city limits of Ozark, you wwould be like me… DO WAHT??????

UNCONFIRMED reports the City of Ozark used their “internal” programmer to program the voting machines rather than contracting the machines out. And CHAOS in the voting in Ozark.

The Mayor in Ozark is like the City Manager is in Dothan. The Mayor runs the day to day operations of the city. The incumbent Mayor, Mark Blankenship is opposed by the Director of the Ozark Department of Public Safety, Charles Ward. And the UNCONFIRMED reports are the City of Ozark employee programmed the voting machines.

So here we go …

UPDATED @ 5:16 PM    

We have had additional updates who report only 16 or 17 provisional votes, UNCONFIRMED. And sources told me there were 400 provisional ballots UNCONFIRMED.

We have been told other municipalities has had to provide supplies today, not only to Ozark but other municipalities across Dale County.

Sources states that people who thought they reside in the city limits are being told they do not reside in the city limits. One person was denied to vote in Midland City and were told they live in Napier Field city limits. But the resident states they DO NOT live in Napier Field but in Midland City and the Midland City Town Clerk confirmed they live in the city limits but they have been denied to vote. They were told they could vote provisional ballot.

A MESS!!!!
