Tarrant County Candidates Seek Free Recounts Following Voting Irregularities
Vince Leibowitz | Mar 15, 2006 | Comments 0
Candidates in Tarrant County who have asked for free recounts following voting irregularities in the primary election earlier this month have been turned and will have to pay as much as $4,500 for each recount in site of reported promises that free recounts would be available in Tarrant County after the mishap.
The reason for the entire debacle is a computer programming error counted some votes multiple times and boosted the final tally in both primaries by as much as 100,000 votes.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has more.
