The Vanderburgh County Election Board reports that the approximately

15,000 mail-in absentee ballots have been reviewed and are in the process of being

tabulated. The approximately 40,000 in-person ballots from the early vote centers

are still in the process of being reviewed and prepared for tabulation. A large

number of the ballots from the early vote center at Old National Events Plaza have

been prepared for tabulation tomorrow. The remaining early vote centers’ ballots

will be reviewed and tabulated commencing at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow. It is

anticipated that the preliminary, unofficial tabulation of in-person ballots cast on

Election Day, as well as the absentee mail-in ballots, will be completed this

evening.

This was the first election in Vanderburgh County with the new State

mandated voting equipment that used paper ballots instead of electronic votes for

early voting. The new voting equipment and the record voter turnout did not allow

the Election Board to total the absentee and early voting today as was possible on

Election Night with the prior election equipment.

    Sometime around 11:00 p.m. on November 2, two victims arrived at a local hospital seeking treatment. Both victims were seeking treatment for gunshot wounds. One of the victims had a gunshot wound to right hip and the other victim had a gunshot wound to the left thigh. One of the victims was a juvenile. 

  The victims gave only minimal information on details of the shooting, giving a possible location of Green River Rd. and Covert Ave.  

  Because one of the victims was a juvenile his mother was called to the hospital, but was unable to give any further details. 

  Both victims are expected to survive their injuries. 

  If anyone has information about this incident they are asked to contact the Evansville Police Department’s Detective Office at 812-436-7979, or the We Tip Line at 1-800-78-CRIME.
