NBC29Vote Reporting Issue Changes Numbers
Member Center:
The numbers are changing in the Fifth District congressional race thanks in part to new results from Charlottesville.
The city's voter registrar says two precincts did not report complete results on election night. The oversight at both Carver Recreation and Jefferson Park Avenue skipped almost 600 votes in the tight race between Tom Perriello and Virgil Goode.
"The chief election officer did not generate a tally tape on the e-scan machine. So when they reported the numbers back to the registrar's office, they only read the numbers from the e-slate machine," explained Charlottesville Electoral Board's Rick Sincere.
The additional votes have been reported to the state board of elections. We're told a majority of them were for Perriello.
