As part of a statewide canvass required by the Virginia Dept. of Elections, Patrick County reviewed all county election results, finding only one change from the tallies reported on election night.
In the Claudville Precinct, the total “no” votes for the meals-tax referendum was 327, not 227 as originally reported. This was due to a reporting error, explained Susan R. Taylor, Patrick County Registrar.
That brings the total votes against the meals-tax referendum to nearly 63 percent, or 5,034 of the 8,200 votes cast.
