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.”
All 31,575 early voting ballots are accounted for and getting ready to be run manually through the machines for a manual count. The Kanawha County Commission and the County Clerk are committed to ensuring the integrity of this election.

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