Secretary Basil Wilson said
he based his estimate on an ap-
parent lack of interest in the
campaigns, emphasized by the
absence of queries and calls
from county election boards.
He said veteran members of
the election board can recall
nothing to equal such a silence
before a general election.
"Usually, many of the elec-
tion board secretaries get un-
easy about absentee ballots and
think they will need more bal-
lots," Wilson said. He said the
