"Very unfortunate": Union County election in question after single-error vote

[RandySF]

UNION COUNTY, Ky. (WEHT) — A Union County election decided by a single vote is now in question after the tie-breaking vote may not be valid.

“It’s just amazing that it came down to just one vote because both people are very well known in the county,” says Union County voter Sharon Omer.

Election night is something the Union County Clerk Garrick Thompson takes seriously. According to Thompson, one person claimed they were given the wrong ballot during the May primary and voted for the eventual winner of the Magistrate District 4 race Ehren Schaffter.

The clerk says the error was not caused by their system but from human error.
