With all of those absentee ballots coming in across the state, how are they handled for the votes to be counted? Marshall County Director of Elections Nan Benson says the election workers will begin opening them after some training on Saturday morning and preparing to insert them into the voting machines come Tuesday.

The coverage of all the voting begins election night at 8:00 here on 1230 KFJB. I’ll be joined by Jarrett Heil for a Republican perspective and Steve Sodders for the Democratic perspective as the returns come in. Our election night coverage is sponsored by Wells Fargo Advisers in Marshalltown.
