The Crawford County Clerk's office discovered the reason for a problem that affected one race Saturday, but may have found another problem to work on. Election officials and members of both parties gathered at 405 E. McKay starting at 9 a.m. to test out scanners used to tally votes in Tuesday's General Election, to both try to fix an existing problem and to troubleshoot for others.

Revised results give Democrats sweep in county board race (NC) Story Here Archive |
Ted Owens is out and Ray Gasperson is in, and the Democrats now have all five seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners. That’s the result of revised election results issued Wednesday morning for the county board race after an apparent “glitch” was discovered in the process for reporting results. Becky Kennedy, chair of the county board of elections, says the county asked Karen Brinson, the district elections technician for the state, to visit Polk County yesterday to assess the problem. Brinson reportedly rebooted the computer and proper functioning was restored. Kennedy says a setting on the computer used to properly report results was possibly "clicked or unclicked," and it's undetermined how or why. She says there is no evidence of any problem with the accuracy of the voting machines in the county or anywhere else in the state, and the change in the report setting on the computer could have resulted simply from a power surge. |
