The Faulkner County Election Commission has determined that Linda Tyler is the winner of the House District 45 election.
The new outcome, according to Election Commission Chair Bruce Haggard, is Tyler, 792 votes; Dr. Terry Fiddler, 764 votes.

"I want to apologize personally and on behalf of the election commissioners and the county clerk for these recording errors that were made on election night," Haggard said, adding that the commission will conduct an audit "to find out what went wrong" and ensure the mistakes made Tuesday night never happen again.

Haggard said the commission discovered three cartridges from the McGee Center that were not included on election night. He said the machines were "at the end of the line" and as turnout was so low that all machines were not in constant use, recorded extraordinarily low voter turnout.
