Do official documents show that there were more votes in certain races in Wyandot County, Ohio, than ballots cast? Yes, that's true: "Those numbers do not math," the Director of Wyandot County Board of Elections, Darcy Zimmerman, told Lead Stories, confirming there is a discrepancy in the unofficial results published by the county. She said they are working with the Secretary of State's office to "figure out what is going on."
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by the @natebige_ account on X on Nov. 8, 2026. It read:

Lead Stories contacted Zimmerman by phone on Nov. 9, 2026, and asked about the numbers discrepancy. She said:
You are right, those numbers do not math. We are aware of this. We are working with the Secretary of State's office to figure out what is going on.
Zimmerman agreed that the unofficial canvass showed inconsistencies in the numbers of ballots cast and votes for certain candidates, She added:
You are 100% correct. That is why these are unofficial totals.
