After the Kanawha County Commission and county clerk’s office found a corrupted early voting data stick last night, election officials did a manual recount of 31,575 early, in-person ballots.

“No outcomes were changed as a result from all of those ballots,” Kanawha County Public Information Officer Megan Bsharah said. “So all of the results stayed the same.”

Bsharah confirmed officials completed the manual count at 6:43 a.m. this morning after an all-night recount.

The state will make all election results official by canvas on Nov. 12.
