Gabriel Sterling, the voting systems manager for the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, filed a challenge Tuesday against an absentee ballot that was sent to his home with the name of the person who sold the house to him 2 years ago.

Sterling received a third-party election flyer at his home located in Sandy Spring, Georgia, reminding a voter with the name Meron Fissha to pick up the absentee ballot she requested and submit it as quickly as possible to guarantee her vote being counted.
