Dunbar Township voting machines to be examined

Fayette County election officials will examine three Dunbar Township voting machines this week after several people petitioned the court with concerns that either fraud or a counting error may have changed the outcome of the supervisor's race.

"There was a lot of things that didn't seem to be on the up and up," said Robin Leighty, the township's newly elected auditor. Leighty was among those watching the unofficial count in District 3 the night of the May 17 primary. Leighty also signed the petition asking the court to order a recanvass.

Laurie Nicholson, county election bureau director, said the recanvass of the three-machine district is the final task that must be performed before the county's election results can be certified.
