The problem surfaced Tuesday night as election officials began reviewing Election Night numbers.

After the polls closed at 7:30 p.m., results quickly poured from computers into the elections office from 33 of the county's 34 precincts. While waiting for the Peletier precinct, where voting continued as late as 10 p.m., election workers began tallying the absentees, no excuses ballots and Election Day tallies. They found their numbers didn't match the numbers they were getting from a computerized printout.

"That's when we started looking," Verdon said.

The county's technical consultants contacted UniLect Corp., the manufacturer of Carteret County's electronic voting system. It was determined that the county had been given misinformation about how many votes the system can store.
