CALHOUN REIMBURSED FOR RE-PRINTING BALLOTS - Seventeen Counties Get Money

(03/01/2001)
Calhoun County is one of seventeen to receive money from the Secretary of States office for re-printing their ballot. Calhoun had already printed their ballot when a federal judge ruled the Green Party candidate Ralph Nader must be listed.

The ruling incurred a $200,000 expense absorbed by the State of West Virginia, who had decided not to include Nader. Calhoun's share was not learned, although Wood County had the biggest expense, about $35,000, and Wayne County the smallest at $1800.
