A county canvassing board rejected the absentee ballot of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum's wife
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A county canvassing board in North Dakota rejected the absentee ballot of Kathryn Burgum, the wife of Republican Gov. Doug Burgum, from the June election. Cheryl Biller, a Democrat who served on the Cass County Canvassing Board, confirmed that the panel voted unanimously last month to reject her absentee ballot because of mismatching signatures. The governor is in the running to be former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate. About 150 ballots were looked at twice for signatures issues, but nine drew greater scrutiny by the board, and six ballots were rejected, Biller said. County canvassing boards certify election results and take action on late-arriving absentee ballots or set-aside ballots cast at the polls. Biller said the handwriting in the first lady’s case “just didn’t match.” She said she remembers her ballot because after the meeting, someone observing came up and mentioned the first lady’s ballot was among those rejected. Her ballot was for Kathryn Helgaas, her maiden name, Biller said.
