DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas County successfully completed the recount of the 44 ballot boxes on Wednesday, as approved this week by a district judge.
Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole requested to reopen the central counting station to recount and re-tabulate 44 thumb drives from the March 3 Democratic and Republican Primary Elections.
“Following today’s recount, all ballots from those vote centers have been counted,” said Pippins-Poole. “The amended results from those 44 vote centers now show an increase of 6,818 votes in the Democratic Primary and 2,331 votes in the Republican Primary. The outcome of local races were not affected by the recount of the paper ballots.”
Pippins-Poole expressed gratitude that Dallas County invested in a system that utilizes backup paper ballots in conjunction with the electronic software to ensure that every vote will always be counted.
