Clerk reports unofficial results; RICHLAND 44 board approves canvass
Summary
After the clerk presented unofficial tallies showing Nathan winning Area 2 and Kyle winning Area 6 and reporting the publishing-of-minutes vote as 143–64 (about 67%), the RICHLAND 44 board approved a motion to canvass the election results by voice vote.
The RICHLAND 44 board voted to approve the canvassing of recent election results after a clerk presented unofficial tallies and said no additional mail ballots were received.
The clerk told board members, "I did send you guys those, unofficial results ... Everything seemed okay with those," and reported that ‘‘area 2 would be Nathan and area 6 Kyle.’' The clerk also said they "did not receive any additional ballots in the mail after the fact." A board member asked about a separate vote to publish minutes; the clerk reported that result as 143–64 in favor (about 67%). The clerk said a simple majority was required for that item.
Chair (speaker 1) moved the canvassing motion, identified in the transcript as "Motion by Craig," and Nicole seconded. The board adopted the motion by voice vote; the transcript records a voice "aye" and the chair stating the motion carries but does not include a roll-call tally.
The clerk said the physical election books are available for review if board members wish to inspect them. The motion's acceptance concluded this agenda item and the board proceeded to the next item.
The board did not record a roll-call or numerical vote tally for the canvass in the transcript.
