Maryland state elections officials have ordered that the results of Baltimore’s recent city elections be decertified following criticism from watchdogs and candidates who say the polling process was flawed.

State Elections Administrator Linda Lamone said the number of ballots cast in the April 26 primary was hundreds more than the number of voters who checked in at polling places. The state also identified 80 provisional ballots that hadn’t been considered.

“It’s important every ballot is counted,” said Lamone.

Lamone said she suspects that discrepancy in votes is a result of election judges prematurely scanning provisional ballots, which are available to people who show up at precincts and whose names do not appear on registered voting lists.
