Let's make sure we keep our fact straight. These votes were never "lost" No votes were "found". The votes were properly counted by the local precincts and reported to the county elections office. The county elections office duly recorded the results. The only thing that happened is that the results for this city were inadvertently omitted from a spreadsheet sent to the AP, so the AP was reporting incorrect totals.
Confusing American Pravda with random vote totals should be standard procedure for the GOP.
