KEVIN FLAHERTY The Morning Sun 09 November 2008
The Crawford County Clerk's office discovered the reason for a problem that affected one race Saturday, but may have found another problem to work on. Election officials and members of both parties gathered at 405 E. McKay starting at 9 a.m. to test out scanners used to tally votes in Tuesday's General Election, to both try to fix an existing problem and to troubleshoot for others. They were successful on both fronts, finding a solution to a programming error discovered earlier this week, while finding another potential problem with scanning for the Arma Sales Tax question.

KEVIN FLAHERTY The Morning Sun 08 November 2008
Crawford County Clerk Don Pyle told Crawford County Commissioners Friday morning about an error in reading votes that could affect the outcome of the already tight Crawford County Attorney’s race.
The error came from a programming glitch in the card that tells the machines what to do. In this specific case, the card didn’t ask a scanner used at Countryside Christian Church — affecting Pittsburg Ward Four, precincts one, two and six — to follow sequencing numbers on the bottom of the ballot.

Revised results give Democrats sweep in county board race (NC)    Story Here  Archive
Chris Dailey Tryon Daily Bulletin 06 November 2008
Ted Owens is out and Ray Gasperson is in, and the Democrats now have all five seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners. That’s the result of revised election results issued Wednesday morning for the county board race after an apparent “glitch” was discovered in the process for reporting results. Becky Kennedy, chair of the county board of elections, says the county asked Karen Brinson, the district elections technician for the state, to visit Polk County yesterday to assess the problem. Brinson reportedly rebooted the computer and proper functioning was restored. Kennedy says a setting on the computer used to properly report results was possibly "clicked or unclicked," and it's undetermined how or why. She says there is no evidence of any problem with the accuracy of the voting machines in the county or anywhere else in the state, and the change in the report setting on the computer could have resulted simply from a power surge.
