Errors Add to Election Board's Concerns About November


More than a week after the D.C. primary, the elections board has not fully explained what caused major errors in initial vote tallies, prompting D.C. Council member Mary Cheh to issue a subpoena for records from the California-based company that supplies the city with its voting equipment and software.

And an audit of four random precincts yesterday was troubling to voting advocates when the numbers still didn't add up.

Some council members and candidates say the delay by the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics in offering a detailed analysis of how thousands of phantom votes appeared in early election results raises doubts about whether the board is prepared to handle November's general election, which is expected to draw a record number of voters to the polls. The primary brought out 13 percent of registered voters, or 42,421.
