Vermilion Parish Clerk of Court's Office had to input election results by hand

It took a while, but the final election results in Vermilion Parish were completed at around midnight.
Vermilion Parish was the final parish in the state to get complete results.
Clerk of Court Diane Meaux Broussard explained why the hold up. She said her office had to type in the results manually.
"We have 21 voting cartridges issued through the Secretary of State that tabulate votes in the voting machines, however, when they were entered into the Secretary of State issued card reader, the information was unable to be uploaded. My staff , along with two representatives from the Secretary of State, are working very diligently to tabulate and input the votes from these precincts manually," Meaux said early Sunday morning.
She said, in 20 years, this was the first time she has had to deal with this type of problem on election night.
