Jackson County Election - Vote Tabulation Problems?

Election Results link from the Daily Sentinel: http://thedailysentinel.com/news/article_c1348302-6d7f-11e1-b546-001871e3ce6c.html

Problems were encountered with the Unity electronic display. Seems there was an official that was not aware of how to work the equipment. Persons who regularly operated the equipment could not do so as they were running for office, a lack of training was evident. Another disturbing question - some persons appeared to have inside information concerning the voting boxes in outlying areas (Stevenson & Bridgeport) before they were posted, which raised questions of why and how did that come about?

Voting Results - reported to be absentee tabulations. Some members of the press seem to be given access to this data while others were not. There was considerable confusion.

Problems with equipment.

By 9PM it began to come together.

Dennis Miller wins the Democrat primary.

Ken Ferrell wins the Jackson County Circuit Court race. Now he can deal with the County Commission attempting to move the court records without his permission. Daily Sentinel article:
