Hand count of Precinct 24 confirms machine tabulation, no change in totals
Summary
A hand count of Precinct 24 was conducted during the canvass; staff tallied while Commissioners Kesling and Siler read votes and the count matched the machine totals, so no changes were made to the reported results.
During the canvass the Commission drew Precinct 24 for a hand count. David Kesling and Chris Siler each read votes while Democrat Ballot Commissioner Patricia Rossi and James Ramsey (one tallying team) and Shawn Ferguson and Melinda Lott (the other tallying team) recorded the totals.
After the hand count the Commission recorded that "the results of precinct 24 did not change and it was determined that the machines tabulated correctly." Accepted ballots from the canvass were entered into the official totals by county clerk staff. The hand count served as a spot-check verification of the machine tabulation for that precinct and did not alter reported outcomes.
