More than 22,000 early and absentee ballots weren't factored into election results Tuesday night in St. Joseph County, affecting the outcome of one race.

After repeatedly going through vote totals, county officials and their vendor determined the totals reported didn't include every ballot.

We're told that 22,453 ballots weren't initially factored in to the results.

The numbers we and other media outlets had been giving you were just day-of votes.

We learned Wednesday that software issues caused a delay in tabulating the votes.

We now know that Jason Cichowicz has beat out incumbent Republican Jim Fox in the race for St. Joseph County Probate Court Judge. Cichowicz received 50.29 percent of the vote while Fox received 49.71 percent.

The outcomes of St. Joseph County's other races didn't change after the 22,453 ballots were tabulated Wednesday.
