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.

The recount was undertaken using different ballot scanners than the ones with which the ballots were originally tallied, according to White. The new scanners were calibrated using ballots filled out with different variations of votes, the solicitor added.

Additionally, elections staff manually looked at each ballot which was to be recounted, White said, adding another layer of verification.

In the end, the two-day effort to recount the ballots in the Mehmet Oz-David McCormick primary race for the Senate nomination by the Republican Party was moot, as the McCormick campaign over the weekend conceded the race to Oz. The statewide recount concluded Wednesday.

White added the county did not tabulate mailed ballots which arrived without a handwritten date.

In sum, the county received 83 ballots with no handwritten date out of the 9,932 mail-in and absentee ballots received by the county for the May primaries.

“Given the developments over the past weekend with the McCormick campaign (conceding to Oz), unless we get further guidance or directive ... we will continue to follow Act 77 and those (undated ballots) will not be counted,” White said.
