To the editor:
I am writing in regard to your Sept. 6 editorial concerning the irregularities that occurred in the Mississippi County primary.
In that editorial, you named the Wyatt precinct as the place where two ballots were handed out to voters. It was not the Wyatt precinct where this happened. It was Wilson City, a separate precinct from Wyatt.
It was very disturbing to me to see us accused of such irregularities. And I would appreciate it very much if you would correct this error.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Mrs. Dugan is absolutely correct. In writing last week's editorial, the wrong precinct was inadvertently listed. The Southeast Missourian regrets the error.
