Here's what McBride had to say about last night's discrepancy.
"We have far fewer votes with all eight districts reporting. Whether we made a mistake, or they (the Board of Elections) made a mistake—somebody made a mistake or both made a mistake. I don't know. I just don't feel like I have reliable numbers," said McBride.

McBride says that the discrepancy may have occurred by inadvertently combining the numbers from a couple of the districts.
"There are two districts that they may have lumped them together—they may not have. And so that's our concern. That's what I’m being told," said McBride.
