Texas county starts election recount after "ballot coding error" leads to "skewed" results

Monday, a representative for a company that provides election tabulation machines for dozens of counties says something went wrong with the tabulations for several Democratic races in one county on Tuesday night.

It happened in Newton County, not far from Beaumont.

Results posted by the Texas Secretary of State show multiple candidates received zero votes.

And now, that issue has led to county-wide recount.
