WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Understaffing and lack of employee training at the Sedgwick County election office led to final vote counts once again being delayed for hours after polls closed, a task force said Monday.
In a six-page report, the task force comprised of staff members from the Kansas Secretary of State’s office found that the Sedgwick County election commissioner’s office has the fewest number of full-time staff among the state’s four largest counties, even though Sedgwick County has the second-highest number of registered voters in the state.
