More than 3,700 early votes cast in a southwestern Indiana county during the 2012 general election went uncounted because of an error by an electronic voting machine technician, officials said Monday.
The Warrick County Election Board reported the error resulted in 3,791 votes going uncounted.
County Clerk Sarah Redmon told the Evansville Courier & Press the error resulted in only 10 percent of in-person, early votes.
