Beadle County audit reconciles 288 ballots, resolves one-vote discrepancy
Summary
Auditor Jill Hanson reported a June 4 post-election audit of Precinct 7 (Wolsey) found 288 ballots and resolved a one-vote discrepancy in the gubernatorial tally after a manual recount matched tabulator results.
Auditor Jill Hanson reported the Beadle County post-election audit for the June 2 primary was conducted June 4 and covered one precinct as required by law. The drawn precinct was Precinct 7 (Wolsey), which contained 288 ballots; the audit took two hours to complete.
Hanson said the three-member audit board verified ballot box seals, counted the ballots and compared the manual tally to the tabulator. The audit initially noted a one-vote difference in the governor's race between Larry Rhoden and Toby Doeden caused by a tallier discrepancy; after the board recounted the ballots the manual count matched the tabulator. Hanson summarized the conclusion: the manual recount confirmed the tabulator results.
