Miscount in DeKalb race caused by voting computer programming errors

A programming mistake caused an inaccurate vote count in a DeKalb County Commission race, election officials said Thursday night.

A recount will begin Saturday morning, when county election workers will re-scan all paper ballots from that commission district’s 40 precincts.

The error resulted in zero election day votes for Michelle Long Spears in all but seven precincts. Spears is currently in third place, outside of a runoff, but the recount could change the outcome. No other races were affected.

The problem arose from programming changes to voting equipment to remove a candidate from the ballot after he withdrew from the race for DeKalb Commission District 2, according to the secretary of state’s office.

Paper ballots printed from Georgia’s voting touchscreens will ensure accurate results, state Elections Director Blake Evans said.

Georgia uses a voting system that combines voting touchscreens with printed-out paper ballots, which can be used to help check electronic results during recounts or audits. The state spent over $138 million to purchase voting equipment from Dominion Voting Systems in 2019.

Going into the recount, Marshall Orson and Lauren Alexander were in first and second place, putting them in a position to advance to a June 21 runoff. However, the recount could put Spears in contention.

Programming mistake?   Yeah right.  

That's some glitch.

Yeah, it's a "glitch" alright... Nothing to see here folks, no fraud, no subterfuge, no conspiracy and nothing illegal about it, just ask the Supreme Court...

Dominion Voting Machines. Now, where have we heard THAT product with a problem combined before? Hmmm?
