Following a successful first effort to hand-count ballots in the March primary election, Gillespie County Republicans reviewed their paperwork and found several errors in the unofficial results reported to the county elections administrator.
Gillespie County GOP Chairman Bruce Campbell said the party reconciled the mistakes ahead of the official canvass of election results on March 14.
“The votes were counted correctly,” said Campbell.
Campbell told Texas Scorecard that addition and transcription errors accounted for the reporting mistakes which did not affect the outcome of any races on the ballot.
“Nowhere was there an error on a tally sheet. The tally sheets were all correct,” he said. “We had 8,266 voters and accounted for 8,266 voters in the end.”
