The votes of 1,600 Brooklyn residents in the 2012 presidential election weren’t counted until almost six months after President Barack Obama began his second term, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.
Officials said the New York City Board of Elections realized in April that the November vote tally was off when an audit showed a mismatch between the number of Brooklyn residents who signed in at the polls and the number of votes counted, according to the Daily News.
The Board of Elections completed the process of counting the votes by hand last week and added the votes to the official count Tuesday. The votes did not change the total of any race, according to the Daily News.
