Mowery confirmed that 306 uncounted ballots had been "noted" by state Division of Elections.
He later explained the 306 ballots that had not yet been counted were ballots that contained one or more write-in choices. All these ballots were cast on Nov. 1-3, the days which had been recounted last Sunday.
