Butler County will continue the process of counting mail-in ballots Wednesday morning.
According to a press release from the county Tuesday night, about half of the ballots received by mail had been counted by 8 p.m. but the process was going more slowly than anticipated due to mechanical issues with the ballot scanner.
After the high speed scanner had been operating all day, a technician was called into the Election Bureau to allow the scanning to continue until 11:30 p.m. before picking back up again around 8:30 a.m. A second scanner is also expected to be available on Wednesday.
The county has posted preliminary results from Tuesday’s in-person voting to their website but this count does not include any results from the scanning of a large number of mail-in ballots which will be added to the count after all of the scanning has been completed.
The Associated Press has called the race for the 15th Congressional District which includes the eastern part of Butler County for incumbent Republican Glenn GT Thompson.
