Sharon Rose with the Benton County Election Commission pulls a cart Thursday of Benton County paper ballots into Washington County’s Quorum Court Room where Lynn Hodge, Washington County Election Commission worker, waits to help. After testing several machines they found a Washington County machine that could count the paper ballots the Benton County machines could not.
Benton County election officials counted 4,364 paper ballots from Tuesday’s general election in about six hours Thursday, but 500-800 more remain to be counted by hand.
