18. Indiana: Officials to discuss election night snafu

Officials to discuss election night snafu

Meeting may take place next week

County election officials will meet next week to determine what, if any, recourse will be taken against Election Systems & Software company, after a computer glitch slowed down election results Tuesday night.

“It’s something we’re concerned about,” said County Clerk Keith Groth. “We want answers from Election Systems & Software.”

The meeting is tentatively scheduled for Monday morning, although that date isn’t certain.

Software and equipment provided by Nebraska-based ES&S failed to accept data packs from the precinct voting machines after Tuesday’s election, officials say. Clark County election workers were left to manually count hard copies of the voting records. Election results were not made official until near 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.
