Text: The trial court reviewed 23 [3] challenged ballots cast at the Orrville polling place. Twenty of those voters who cast challenged votes testified in an effort to cure defects in their oaths. In its final order, the trial court stated that 12 of the challenged votes cast at Orrville were legal and that they were counted for Williams. The trial court further stated that it had excluded the remaining challenged votes for the following reasons: (1) one voter testified under oath that he knew a reason that he should not be allowed to vote; (2) one voter was not registered; (3) two voters had no recollection of voting; (4) three voters had been convicted of felonies; and (5) several voters' oaths were insufficient and were not cured by testimony. Williams argues that the trial court erred in rejecting the five challenged votes from Orrville that were not cast by convicted felons. However, the evidence in the record supports the trial court's findings that those five challenged votes were due to be rejected for the reasons stated in the trial court's order.
