VEC: Niddrie, Over 6,312 votes missing in 2CP count

VEC Published results (A 20:55 Today) shows a discrepancy of 6,312 votes on the false 2CP data.  Votes have either gone missing or been added to the count.  A discrepancy of over 6,000 votes is not minor error and raises ongoing concerns over the quality of the VEC counting and reporting procedures. 

Note the Total votes (20,614) and then add-up the 2CP results  (26,926 ).  Missing from the published results is the section votes (Postal, Absentee, Early and Provisional votes)

The VEC also has the Greens listed in error as  the preferred Candidate against Labor's Ben Carrol when Andrea Surace  has more votes with registered HTV preferences flowing to the ALP and Surace before the Greens.
