Absentee ballots are at the center of a controversy in a local election for the Milwaukee County Board. A major red flag went up when a lot of absentee ballots were sent to the city Election Commission by a non-profit group known as the African-American Coalition for Empowerment (ACE).

County Supervisor Lee Holloway is facing challenger Yolanda Staples-Lassiter, an economic development assistant with the U.S. Small Business Administration in Milwaukee.

A lot is at stake in this race as Holloway recently took over as Chairman of the County Board after Karen Ordinans lost in a recall election last summer.
