A replacement scanner used at the Floyd County Administration Building for early voting apparently did not tabulate just over 2,500 ballots, a hand recount revealed over the weekend.
Poll workers completed the hand recount of presidential election ballots in just under 16 hours of work ending Saturday.
Board of Elections Chairman Tom Rees said the hand count added over 2,500 more votes than were registered by computers on election night and the following morning.
According to Floyd County GOP Chairman Luke Martin, and tentatively confirmed by Rees, there were an additional 1,643 votes for Republican President Donald Trump, 865 for Democrat President-elect Joe Biden and 16 for Libertarian Jo Jorgensen.

(2,977 posts)The scanners aren't perfect and miss counting some votes FOR EVERYONE. Not just Trump.

(15,325 posts)But I see it was only for the President race.
So it was interesting to me anyway.

(44,973 posts)Nobody got elected as of yet.
Budi
(15,325 posts)But I see that count was only for President & not Senate.
I was interested to know if any Senators were affected as well.
