New Missing Ballots Found in SA Election

0:00The Electoral Commission of South Australia just confirmed they found more missing ballot papers from the Enfield and Narangha electorates, right? After those results got declared. This comes hot on the heels of last week's mess, where hundreds of votes turned up missing across other areas, some enough to flip a seat. Earlier this week, they admitted to similar glitches in Narurunga that had everyone scratching their heads, and now Enfield and Newland joined the list, with freshly discovered ballots. The Commission insists these operational slip-ups haven't touched the election's core integrity, but it's piling on the embarrassment. Folks are fired up, and no wonder voters in candidates feel the sting of this confusion, especially with the Commission's top boss still out on. Unexplained leave. Acting Commissioner Leah McClay stepped up to apologize for the frustration and promise real fixes. These latest fines won't swing any outcomes, though, Enfield and Newland are solid labor holds with big margins, so no court drama there. Still, internal probes are rolling, plus an independent review to dig into what broke.
