Recount in Dallas County primary raises questions and doubt
In Dallas County May 4 primary recounts confirmed two outcomes and raised questions about fraud and the counting system. Dick Reed gained 465 votes to move from 260 down to 225 ahead, with 11 mistyped totals across 750 machines countywide. Reed calls for a grand jury probe if fraud is found. Hassell notes most errors are random, not deliberate. Reed and Gunn, rival candidates for June, traded views as they prepare for the next ballot.
