Virginia county: Here's why our vote totals didn't add up

One of Virginia’s largest and most influential counties acknowledged Wednesday that there were mismatches between vote totals for original machine counts and hand counts at two precincts, but explained the reasons for the issues.

There were apparent discrepancies between vote totals and voters at two precincts in Prince William County on Election Day, but those issues were due to human error, according to the county Office of Elections.

Eric Olsen, director of Elections/General Registrar for the county Office of Elections, told Just the News that in one precinct – identified as Precinct 612 – there was a discrepancy of 27 votes when comparing the numbers on ballot-counting machines to the number of physical ballots during hand counting.
