Mon, March 25th 2024 at 12:42 PMThe Pickaway County Board of Elections announced a discrepancy with the May 19th primary election.
The board sent a letter to candidates indicating the unofficial results on election night included higher absentee vote totals than were cast. The board details this was due to pre-election testing numbers being included in the count.The board explained in a statement: "Since this has come to our attention, we reviewed the data and processes and have determined what happened and how," said the board. "After the absentee results were generated at 7:32 pm, a USB drive was inserted into the tabulation computer so it could be cleared for use later in the evening. Unfortunately, this USB drive contained ‘test data’ used during the pre-election logic and accuracy testing process which the tabulation program imported before the drive was cleared.
