Following discrepancies in a county council race, Frederick County decided to decertify its results from the primary last month and will rescan its ballots.
The retabulation process began Wednesday and is expected to last about two days, followed by recertification of the election, according to the county. Officials discovered a discrepancy between ballots accepted and votes tallied in the county's Council District 3 Democratic primary race while preparing for a recount and opted to rescan all of its ballots in response.
"An on-going review suggests there were human errors in ballot accounting during the mail-in and provisional canvasses. As a result of this discovery, all ballot accounting will be reviewed," the county board of elections added. To assist with its retabulation efforts, the county's board requested assistance from the state board of elections and the Howard County Board of Elections to help ensure accuracy. The public is invited to attend its rescanning process.News from Frederick County follows election concerns in several other counties across the country, including Pinal County, Arizona, which experienced shortages of ballots during its election earlier this month.
