County solicitor Wil White on Wednesday said the county’s recount of the Republican Senate nomination showed just one vote was miscounted, something of which he claims the county was already aware.

During the recount, which took the Bureau of Elections two days, workers tallied the exact same results in 88 of 89 precincts, with just one vote tallied wrongly in the 89th precinct, according to White.

Butler County’s recount of the May 17 Senate primary election race came as the margin between votes for Mehmet Oz and David McCormick was within the mandatory recount bounds.

The one vote counted wrongly, White said, was the result of a voter’s ballot being jammed in the machine and the voter being told to cast another ballot.

“It was a chance to audit ourselves, and we’re pleased with the results,” White said.
