.

Carbon County Elections Bureau provided some incorrect election results which made it impossible to declare winners in some cases.

Elections officials said that the incorrect results were not a result of the new voting machines. A software error in the office was causing the votes to be tallied incorrectly.

“The best news is, we have all the tapes, all the ballots. That’s the whole point of having an audit situation. We can look at every ballot,” said Lisa Dart, director of elections for Carbon County.

While the office was working with its vendor, Dominion Voting Systems, to correct the problem, Elections Bureau officials planned to count the votes from the printouts which each precinct submitted when polls closed.

Dart said shortly after midnight that the staff would continue reading the ballots until they had all the results. They are expected this morning.

The affected races included municipal races such as Summit Hill, where no votes were tallied for candidates, and Weatherly, Palmerton and Panther Valley school board races, with one candidate receiving an overwhelming number of votes.

ELECTION 2019: Manzi takes DA; Republicans retain row offices in 'GOP sweep' of courthouse

Indiana County voters selected a new district attorney by a matter of 392 votes on Election Day. General election totals returned the county commissioners’ office to Republican control, sent Sheriff Robert Fyock to a fifth term in office and gave Randy Degenkolb a comfortable re-election win.

The vote totals as shown on the Indiana County website are unofficial.

About 39.3 percent of the registered voters went to the polls Tuesday.


Republican challenger Robert Manzi edged Democratic District Attorney Patrick Dougherty with about 50.3 percent to 48.3 percent of the vote: 9,828 to 9,436.

Republicans Mike Keith and Robin Gorman led the balloting to replace retiring county commissioners Rodney Ruddock and Michael Baker. Sherene Hess, the lone Democrat of the last term, was re-elected.
