BROWNSVILLE (AP) - State election officials are still working to correct vote tabulations from one South Texas county that incorrectly boosted Democratic Sen. John Kerry's performance.
The errors appeared after the Willacy County clerk, in an effort to save money on election materials, did not purchase some equipment necessary for voting machines.
As a result, election officials said they counted each vote for president from a straight-party ticket twice.
