The Beacon Journal today gave top spot play to a correction on results printed Wednesday on school levies at Stow-Munroe Falls and Nordonia Hills. It was reported that the levies passed, but both failed.The seven-paragraph "Getting it Straight" explained:
The person who watched the results Tuesday night did not know that while most
counties' election reports show "yes" votes on the first line and "no" votes on the second, the Summit board of elections' computer is unique in that it switches the results to place the largest number first, whether in the affirmative or negative.

spell check can't do everything.
