Tally software has added false votes to several elections in the last two years.*

She says the problem began when the county purchased new election software for the vote tally machines it uses on election night.

In one case, nearly four thousand phantom votes were added to just one race.

However, the clerk says her vote-counting experts have always found the phantom votes before they were added to the final tally.

Vendors have been blaming it on communications, but in spite of efforts to fix the problem, Herrera still does not know what’s causing it.**
