State Blames Missing Primary Votes on Clerical Error
posted 7:57 am Tue April 29, 2008 - Harrisburg, Pa. (AP)
Pennsylvania election officials have revised their unofficial vote count for the presidential primary.
They've determined that a clerical error had kept about 26,000 Northampton County votes out of the state tally.
Department of State spokeswoman Leslie Amoros says the problem was traced to a mistaken assumption that all of the county's votes had been recorded.
After the numbers were corrected Monday, about 21,000 votes were added to the Democratic presidential race and about 5,300 to the Republican presidential race.
Sen. Hillary Clinton picked up 13,287 votes and Sen. Barack Obama (web|news|bio) picked up 7,678 votes for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton's lead of 31,583 to 19,893 in Northampton County now matches The Associated Press figures.
