Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A problem with a tabulation system caused votes from November’s election to be double-counted in six Monmouth County, New Jersey districts, spread across four towns — and could change the result of a school board race in Ocean Township.
The company, which also goes by the abbreviation ES&S, described the issue as an isolated incident “due to a human procedural error.” It said the problem was discovered during a review of its election database prompted by a request from Monmouth County, and limited to races there. It also said the error only affected the outcome of a single race.
ES&S didn’t say what prompted the county’s request. The Monmouth County Board of Elections office directed messages to spokesperson Karla Bardinas, who hasn't yet returned a call placed Wednesday. But the Globe, in, said former Belmar Councilman James Bean filed a public records request in November after noticing inconsistencies in election results.
