From an email from a friend at the Secretary of State's Office:
I would like to officially clarify that the 2161 number everyone saw for Mollohan on election night was a DATA ENTRY ERROR at the SOS office. I apologize and take full responsibility. The number of votes for McKinley from Barbour County were incorrectly entered by hand into a database. Once the error was brought to our attention, we quickly investigated, corrected the mistake and triple-checked ALL counties in the 1st district. The total number of write-in votes in the entire 1st CD is 390. Who received those votes will be determined at canvass.
Additionally, MetroNews' election night numbers are incorrect. The unofficial election night margin of victory for McKinley was 1357, not 734 as was reported by MetroNews.
