Update on the vote count
By B.J. Reyes
There is still one more printout expected before the night is done.
From reporter Craig Gima at the Election Center at the state Capitol:
Chief Elections Officer Kevin Cronin said the three missing memory cards have been located and are being brought in to be counted. Cronin said he is hopeful that they should be in the 11 p.m. printout.
In this election, like past elections, poll workers have left the memory cards in the counting machines and officials have had to track them down and, in some cases, call in custodians or principals to re-open the polling place so the cards can be removed.
The check on this is the paper ballots, which can be audited to make sure the results match.
The counting of the votes on the three cards is not expected to alter any results.
