NJ Chaos: 56 Voting Machines Didn't Count Votes Overnight, Will Be Brought Back to Warehouse

Fifty-six districts in Essex County, New Jersey, have not posted election results after a problem with voting machines that led to them being shut down until a judge intervenes.

News 12 New Jersey spoke with Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin regarding the details of the mysterious voting shutdown.

Njmornings With NJ Gubernatorial race still SO close, Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin tells me where the 56 districts in which votes have not been counted are located.

The voting machine problems may be attributed to the change from paper ballots to digital voting.

With 89 percent of the vote reported, Murphy held a lead of 1,203,602 votes over Ciattarelli with 1,186,985 as of 5:10 p.m. EST, according to The New York Times.

Seventy-three percent of the vote has gone to Murphy and 26 percent to Ciatterelli, with 152,845 total votes tallied.

The issues with the machines could be due to a variety of issues and New Jersey election leaders have encouraged voters not to jump to conclusions.
