1. 674 illegal votes?

It appears the list will change significantly. Jefferson County Probate Judge Alan King said most of the county's 380 voters on the list did not vote in the runoff. Instead, a chief inspector at one precinct mistakenly crossed off the names of Democratic primary voters in advance to make sure they wouldn't be allowed to vote that day. That made it appear as if they had voted, King said.

Coincidentally, Jefferson County votes Democratic, of course. The "list" contained very few Republican-leaning counties, and then only one case reported (probably a D).
