Technical glitch leads to hand vote-count
Due to a technical glitch that impaired the computers that typically tabulate election results, members of the Maury County Election Commission, including Jason Whatley and Maury County Election Administrator Todd Baxter, were forced to count the ballots by hand using addition machines and calculators and triple checking, Whatey said.
Once the results were tabulated by hand, the final calculations were handwritten on a large white sheet of paper and posted on the back wall of the board room at Spring Hill City Hall on Thursday.
The results showed that voter turnout in Spring Hill could exceed 8%, a goal of retiring mayor Rick Graham, who tried to raise the turnout through a pie-in-the-face challenge to the community.
