BBV - Jasper Co., SC Finds 1500 'Ghost' Votes

Recount shows massive error in Jasper voting

RIDGELAND: 1,500 phantom votes were cast in last week's election.

By Mark Kreuzwieser

The bad news about Jasper County's June 8 primary is that every candidate lost votes in a recount late Thursday and early Friday, but the good news - for the winners anyway - is that the political outcomes were unchanged.

Election officials now say that 1,500 votes certified June 10 were phantoms, ballots never cast by Jasper County voters.

The machines are DREs but I am not sure at this time what vendor or what software. I have people checking into that but if anyone knows, please pass on the information.
