The Butler County Commissioners intend to assess information gathered from their review of ballots from a few county precincts at its Wednesday meeting.

Since the review began July 27, the recount of the Butler City 4-1 precinct has been completed and the review of the Donegal Township precinct was expected to be completed Thursday.

Additionally, the county was expected to review 2,000 ballots from the Middlesex Township precinct, but County solicitor Wil White, who is serving as the county’s interim director of elections and overseeing the review, said the commissioners allotted three weeks to review ballots from all three precincts.

Reviewing the 2,000 ballots from the Middlesex Township precinct would take four or five days and extend into next week, he said.

So far, only one discrepancy has been found. The hand count found one Donegal Township ballot was not counted by the machine. A voter didn’t properly fill in one circle to vote for a candidate, White said.
