Officials read local election results; certificates prepared for signatures
Summary
An election official read multiple local and school election results aloud and requested that board members sign three copies of certificates so they can be circulated and signed by the appropriate officials; some races had zero votes reported at this site and several provisionals required follow-up.
Unidentified Speaker 4 read a long, itemized list of local election results for multiple municipalities, school boards and public measures and told the room that three copies of certificates needed to be signed by the board and other officials.
Examples read aloud included Columbus mayor (David Kaufman — 48 votes), Columbus city council at-large totals (John Hand — 20; Taryn Wagner — 36; Kevin Conrad — 22), and multiple other municipal and school district totals. The reader apologized in advance for any mispronunciations and noted that several races had zero local votes recorded at this site.
Unidentified Speaker 4 asked board members to sign a set of documents as results were read and said remaining certificates would be circulated for signatures. Unidentified Speaker 5 noted that Louisa was selected for a post-audit and reported that the post-audit matched the records.
No formal board vote was required to read results or to sign certificates; the procedure recorded was administrative — circulation and signing of certificates for election recordkeeping and certification.
