BOULDER — The Boulder County clerk’s office has finished a careful count of 160,000 ballots several days after a glitch in the county’s optical-scan equipment cast doubt on its reliability.
The unofficial results are available online at , according to a news release by Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall.
Residue in the optical-scan equipment caused the scanners to tally “phantom” votes on parts of the ballot left blank by voters, Hall said.
“Once I realized the scope of this issue on Monday, I decided that we needed to inspect every ballot image to ensure the accuracy of our election results,” she said.
