Charges of ballot tampering are already flying as Bay State voters are packing the polls in heavy numbers today in the 11th-hour nailbiter to choose a successor for the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Both camps of rivals Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown report possible election violations.
“We have seen a number of disturbing incidents this evening that have called into question the integrity of this election,” Coakley campaign manager Kevin Conroy said.
Coakley officials say they’ve received reports from five supporters that they received ballots already marked for Brown.
“Those are spoiled ballots and they should not be counted,” Coakley campaign attorney Marc Elias said. “This is a serious issue.”
