The 2014 General Election official gubernatorial results published by the Iowa Secretary of State include a significant error in Union County, where 2,224 votes were not included in the statewide tally (52% of the total votes in Union County). Published results from the Union County Auditor show the correct figures. The table below compares the two:
Union County, IA 2014 General Election Result for Governor
Candidate | IA SoS Result | Union County Result | Difference |
---|---|---|---|
Total | 2,062 | 4,286 | -2,224 |
Terry Bradstad (R) | 1,388 | 2,690 | -1,302 |
Jack Hatch (D) | 560 | 1,407 | -847 |
Lee Deakins Hieb (L) | 68 | 105 | -37 |
Others | 56 | 84 | -28 |
Interestingly, other statewide offices are correct, only the race for Governor is in error. The corrected data have been updated in the Atlas database (Union County Gubernatorial Result page).
