Voting Machine Error Discovered After Election Flips Result in Race — And the New Margin Is Just One Vote
The outcome of a local election in New Jersey was changed after officials uncovered a malfunction with voting machines.
A tabulation malfunction within Election Systems and Software voting machines caused some votes to be double-counted in six voting precincts in Monmouth County. According to the New Jersey Globe, the problem was “not discovered until an unrelated issue caused the Board of Elections to launch an internal investigation.”
As a result of the irregularity, the result of one school board race in Ocean Township will have to be changed.
Initially, Steve Clayton defeated Jeffrey Weinstein by just 20 votes — 3,523 to 3,503. But when the tabulation errors were corrected and the vote recalculated, the result showed that Weinstein had actually won by a single vote.
The candidates were notified of the development on Tuesday. (Read more from “Voting Machine Error Discovered After Election Flips Result in Race — And the New Margin Is Just One Vote” HERE)
